What? Huh??

I know this isn't going to be the best post ever. Allergies are in full force and I feel like crap.

Work... I'm finding that I am enjoying teaching middle schoolers. Except for one class. They have a huge sense of entitlement. They're my worst attitudes and they automatically hate me because I'm the new teacher. I don't care that they don't like me. They just aren't open to the idea of a new teacher being awesome, if not better than the previous.

And flipping the classroom videos? Loving it. I don't have to lecture and take two days to do it either. And the kids like it too.

One thing we are doing is working on confidence and self-esteem. So I'm having some students write about themselves. "How I See Me." Then, I'm having the students stand in front of the white board and the class is writing positives about each person. I take a picture of the student and they'll put it in a project and they reflect on it.

I told the kids a personal story and their faces just dropped. This was no longer a funny game activity. It was a serious moral booster. It made a connection. Then they all wanted to do the board activity with me. I wasn't searching for compliments because I'm over all that. I know me. I'm awesome. But this whole activity clicked with them.

Proud moment!

Moving on...

H&M opened in a local mall recently. I decided to take a peek. And I think I officially love that store. I picked up a pencil skirt and a very pretty dress that actually fits without my having to alter it. That's always a difficult thing to find. So I got them both. And the total was really inexpensive!

I think that's all I want to write about. No, not really but I cannot remember what else I thought of! Hate!
