I am a new high school math teacher and previously taught middle school for 3 years. I honestly can say I love my job. Everyday is an adventure and all I can hope is most days I am the one in charge. There's the ups, the downs, the good and oh boy the uglies but when you love what you do, it's all fun!
It always amazes/inspires me when teachers make the most of the seasons like this one that used pumpkins to teach estimating of height and weight and teach circumference! Way to go!
