(no subject)

I really need another teacher around. After school, I went down to the 6th grade teacher's room because we never see each other this year. Last year I had a group of her students for reading, and we sometimes had gym duty together. Anyway, I went to catch up with her but I ended up sort of venting (she was able to vent to me a little too), but she also gave me a few really good ideas to use in my class. I needed that so badly! Being the only teacher for my subject and grade, I only have the standards to tell me what to teach, but they don't help very much. I occasionally call the teacher I replaced, but she's busy at her new school so I can't have her bail me out all the time. I just need to barge in on my fellow teachers more often. This particular teacher has only been teaching 6 months longer than me, so we have a lot in common.

Oh, I was writing a note saying I was in her room, and realized I had to write "Mrs. M." and I was envious for a split second. I want to be a Mrs!

Boy, do I relate to that! The number of 'Ms' in my building is dwindling rapidly - 2 are engaged and then there's me and about 5 others!! Sucks big time, I know!!! I am sure you told me this already but where and what do you teach??

Phoenix, AZ, 8th grade English/language arts/reading. I grew up calling it English but to my surprise, not everyone did.
