Introduce Yourself
I'm Meg! A third grade teacher from Massachusetts! This is my second year teaching, but first year in third grade and general education.

Summer is here! What are your goals?
So-- summer is here and i remember finding this message board last year in hopes of finding motivation to be healthy. It's summer again and I thought it would be a good time to post a new topic for the summer-- what are your goals for this summer? I started the school year at 244 lbs and I'm down to 230 at this moment. I…

From High School to College Level Teaching
Hello ladies and gentlemen! I'm currently a high school teacher looking to move up to college level teaching. Have any of you done it? Are you looking to do it as well? What steps have you taken to accomplish this monstrous feat (or at least seems monstrous in my mind). Copious mounds of thanks.

Today was my last day of student teaching. The school was vibrant with laughter and learning. I struggled with tears at times with all the heartfelt cards and gifts that my students gave me. To be in middle school is to be such a genuine character. I love my students and I know one day they will grow up to be amazing human…
