Welcome to the big show! Does anyone else immediately have the Jock Jams Megamix Volume 1 song play in their head? If you do, congratulations, you’re a child of the 1990’s!

Anywhoo, teaching is tough. The education field in general is tough. So this is a collection of my stories from almost a decade of being in the classroom. Some of the stories are fun and remind us the joy that can come from being in the education field, some of the stories are just giant eye rolls that make us question why we do this, and some stories are heartwarming and help us remember that our purpose is not just to transfer knowledge but also to teach our students how to grow and be strong members of our communities.
