The 7th graders are so cute and tiny and other things I never thought I’d say about teaching middle school…

Well, first week is down, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I was tough, but kind and utilized all the strategies I picked up over the summer. As expected, the first day was blissfully perfect - the kids all bright and shiny, sitting in their new seats, in their new uniforms with their new supplies, all acting like model students. Ahhhh – if only that were reality the rest of the year.
