I've been gone awhile too. Elderly parents, 2 teenagers at home,and moved to a new school. It's been a hectic year.
My district move our 5th graders to the Middle School. So after 32 years in elementary I now teach Science and Social Studies 5 times a day. Still not sure I like Middle School. But I now have more time in the evenings for my sons, goats and horse. So there are some trade offs.
I'm glad to see other teacher on the site.

I haven't been on the forum in while because I have been so busy with the new school year!
I teach middle school science, and help run our schools organic community garden. My husband teaches middle school technology, and runs our ski club.

Karen O...nobody at the school teaches them to spin the wool. But what a cool thing that would be! I try to share as much as I can with my students about the things I cook and can and grow...I want them to have an appreciation for where our food comes from and for our foremothers (and fathers).

I work as an elementary library media specialist. We start early down here - 8/5 was the first student day. Great to be back to work and seeing the kids/coworkers, but I am looking forward to our Fall Break in three weeks! DH and I have a special trip planned. |

I work 3 1/2 days as an academic tutor at the local primary school. The kids start tomorrow. I am filling in for a teacher on Friday, then starting my regular job on Tuesday. I love having the summer off, but I really do miss the kids.
Have a great year everyone.

Have taught PreK for over 25 years but took a leave of absence this school year to stay home & care for my elderly mother-in-law. I sure miss it!! Love the excitement of a new school year!!

That is awesome! Do the students get to learn how to use the fleece to spin wool in art class???? I wish I could come to your school.

We started last Monday....awesome start to the year. I teach biology and chemistry to high school students. But the best part? I start my day teaching biology to freshmen at the school FARM...yep...I said FARM! We have a Vo-Ag program with 100 acre farm where we raise sheep, pigs, cows, barley, and alfalfa. We also have a commercial sized greenhouse where kids raise bedding plants for sale in the spring. You just can't have a bad day when it gets to start on a farm! :) Good luck and have a great year to my fellow educators!
