Top Ten Reasons I Know I am
3. When I eat lunch I set the timer for 5 minutes. Any food left after that must be thrown away. (back to doc for heartburn and antacid meds)
2. I recorded my name in a whiny voice and have it playing repeatedly on my ipod as I set up my classroom just to desensitize my ears to the sound. If I could simultaneously be tapped on, tugged on, and followed around the room I would add that to my teacher training.
and the number 1 reason I know I am heading back to school….
At the end of last school year I made this video about A day in the life of a TEACHER…I am sharing it again to remind us all of the joys of our profession! *disclaimer* I am not a singer! But I will do anything for my students and that includes humiliating myself for their entertainment….and yours.

I totally love your video! 🙂 It made me smile, laugh, and get excited for school! I also love you top 10 #1 is way too true!

Your passion for teaching sure shines through in your video! Your district is lucky to have such an outgoing, fun, and creative voice in the classroom. Check out the free resources for k-12 teachers at the Marygrove College MAT Blog and feel free to share with your colleagues. Good luck this year and I hope you find it a rewarding experience.
