I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Remember when...

Where were you on 11-11-11? Well, that was one Math class I won't likely ever forget. Any time I get the chance to sneak in a "celebration," I have at it. Why not add some additional fun where you can, right?

In other (present-day) classroom news, we're quickly packing up shop. Posters and pictures have been taken down, bulletin boards have been stripped, and most materials have been taken home. The room looks so bare - both students and other teachers alike have commented on our room's current state. It's sad. :( But it also makes us excited that we'll have a jumpstart on cleaning for next week. Woo hoo!

And in yet other (semi-related to classroom) news, my co-teacher was so sweet this morning - she brought me a bottle of wine and some lovely Dove chocolate caramels, saying she "owed me one" by finishing out grades and most report card stuff when she took a personal day for her son's graduation festivities. It really wasn't too bad, but hey, I'll accept! :) The only problem is I left the gift at school, so I can't enjoy the wine just yet. Maybe tomorrow...

3.5 more days...Summer, I can taste you!
