I am a teacher! And, there are few things in my life that when I think about them make me happier. I love sharing my joy for learning and my passion for science with young people. I love building relationships with students and helping them to find success. I am not teaching full time this year, but will be substitute teaching. Today I was so excited to be asked to fill in the grade 6 teacher at one of my old schools. What a great day we had, writing stories, investigating patterns in math, studying forest ecosystems in science, playing soccer, and discussing the global impact of 9/11.
I had mixed feelings leaving the school today. I know that it is the best choice for me to sub this year, but as I walked through the halls of the school today that old familiar excitement and yearning feeling returned in full force. Teaching full time is not a smart plan for me, by going back I run the risk of jeopardizing a future career in education. It is a long story to explain exactly how this is true, but needless to say, I have to be satisfied with substitute teaching at the moment.
Have you ever loved something so much, but couldn't figure out how to make it fit in your life?
