There is a Calm Before the Storm

It is true that I love teaching and it truly is my passion, but I can't help but enjoy the last few minutes of quiet before those 22 7 year old children bring their energy through the door. There are 180 days left in the school year, filled with mindless grading and hours upon hours of saying things like, "is that your business," "tracking fingers ready," "no. it's not time for recess, please don't ask again," "sit correctly," "1,2,3 eyes on me," "facing forward-hands behind your back," you get the idea.
the calm


amongst my smile the storm is behind me
