I taught algebra for 5 years before trying to teach science for 2 years, and I'm pretty good at it. I've learned a lot, 8th-grade science students, but farewell.
And here's another thing: I won't have my own classroom next year. I'll be what is called a "floater". The other teachers wrinkled their noses when I said it, but I've also done this before, and I prefer to refer to myself as a "free spirit". I'll have one classroom for two blocks, and then a different classroom for another block, and share an office. I won't have to put up the content standards, or decorate the room, or whatever.
I show up, tell a few jokes, teach kids how to factor and isolate the variable, then leave.
SWEEEEEEET.
They don't call me the Geekgirl for nothin'.
A couple cartoons to puntcuate the mood:
