Idea Behind "Memoirs of a Teacher"

As I began my teaching career, people told me to keep a journal of all the funny and silly things kids did or said.  Well, as the old saying goes...it is easier said than done.  As my first year of teaching quickly consumed my life, the last thing I felt that I had time to do was to record all the funny or sweet things that happened in my classroom.  I was always concerned about the next deadline I had to meet or parent I had to contact...and so on.  Well, as I near the end of my second year of teaching, I have realized that far too many moments in my teaching career have went by--unrecorded, and soon, not remembered... So, in an effort to remember those moments and share them with others, I have created this blog, Memoirs of a Teacher.  

I hope you enjoy the wonderful stories I share and appreciate the innocence of the children I get the opportunity to work with every day!  As I heard at a recent teacher banquet..."Teaching is the most difficult job, but also the most rewarding."  This blog is for all of the stories that make me remember why I became a teacher!
