beginner

Despite the name of the title, I am not a beginning teacher. I have taught for five years. Though some would say that only 5 years of experience is still a beginner.

But when I define teacher I think of the word "beginner." Because every August we are beginners. Actually some are beginners sooner than that because we get moved to a new grade level.

This blog post is called beginner because I'm beginning this public blog. For the public. For me.

I'm also beginning a new chapter by moving to teach third grade. I've been teaching 4th grade for the past five years.

Today is a Sunday. I'm watching....wait... let me hit info....Contact with Jodie Foster (I had to hit infor again to see if I spelled her name right).

I moved my computers to the man cave den so that it could stay cooler. It was 106° yesterday here in North Little Rock. My weather.com app tells me it's 97° (it's 12:50pm) right now. It's supposed to be around 103° today.

Why the heck did I tell all that.

Oh yeah, because I moved my computers.

Geoffrey (my husband) told me that if we could hook up a feeding tube I wouldn't have to move until school starts. I considered this. But I don't have access to a feeding tube (or a catheter for that matter) so I can't exactly make that "dream" a reality.

Probably I should pause to make sure you understand that I was just kidding there. I forget that my texts and emails can be deceiving. I tend to be somewhat sarcastic. But I don't think I'm very good at it because everyone believes what I say. Or perhaps I AM very good at it.

Or I'd be an excellent actress.

Oh, I think I found another word to define "teacher."
