For the first time EVER I will be teaching 7th and 8th graders. This makes me extremely happy and a little bit nervous. I am excited because I love the subjects that I am teaching--History and Dance. Social Studies (or History) is a great subject to learn about. Not only are you able to learn about the cultures that influence our nation, but why we have certain rules or laws and how YOU can make a difference and shape the history of our nation. Dance is another class that I am very excited to teach. In high school, I took several dance classes competing in regional and national dance competitions.
I'll admit that it is a little bit nerve-wracking to change your path so suddenly. After 8 years teaching 5th grade, I'm now venturing into new territory. But, I know the change was very much needed. As much as I loved 5th grade, I was ready for something new.
I hope you are all enjoying your summer. I'll make a separate post about that later! If you're out in cyberspace, give me a little hey in the comments below!
Only 13 days until school starts back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
