North Africa
“You know, I’ve met a few people from South Africa, but never anyone from North Africa,”
said the 8th grader.
"Hey, Miss At..." it's the beginning of some of the most unfathomable sentences I'll ever hear.
I'm starting my 3rd year of teaching at a small school in a city I JUST moved to. I teach 8th grade, and it's a lot more fun than you would think. Teaching is a ton of overwhelming work, but it's the moments that I post on tumblr that show how much I absolutely love (or sometimes loathe) my job.
Enjoy!

This is what we call “Wedding Crafting Weekend.” Making bunting and candles!
Thank you, Seester, for all your help!
WHAT?! It’s Sibling Day??
Well, let me just tell you all that my Seester is way cooler than
youme (as you can clearly tell in this picture, since zoomed in she looks totally cute in that dress she made herself, and I look like an idiot with my necklace all up in my eyeballs).Also, my sister is a magical creature. My students believe it is the most amazing thing that there is ANOTHER Miss At.
How to…
make 8th graders forget all about what they are wearing, how they look, and how they fit in:
Have a lice epidemic at school. Then that’s ALL they can think about.
It’s after 10pm,
And my date night turned into a “sit in the fiancé’s office while he and the other band director figure out how to spend $40k on new instruments.”

Student 1:

Graduation Party
That moment when…
A student says,
“It smells like Axe in here!”
And you swear they say something else…

Student:
Hey, Miss At, want to hear a pizza joke?

Me:
Tell me.

Student:
Nah...never mind. It's too cheesy.

What am I doing over spring break?

Teenagers
“Whoa, Miss At!! I just figured it out! When you’re 13-19, you’re a teenager! Get it? ThirTEEN, fourTEEN, fifTEEN…”
Allergy Season
“Hey, Miss At… Do you say ‘bless you,’ or ‘blesh you’? Because I have always said ‘blesh you.’”
