The year might be ending but I’m already thinking about next year. One of my goals is to increase the number of students earning the Seal of Biliteracy. Step 1: pretty bulletin board of important info!

That Friday feeling when you come back to your office during 4th period to find that it’s…gone?

The irony of teaching a lesson about what students like to do to reduce stress while I stress about not having schoology access 🙃

Me when my students ask me why they have to speak French in French class

[Mademoiselle Smith @mllesmith3]

My students when I tell them their assessment has a speaking section where they actually have to speak French

So of course I said yes because it’s the holiday season and who couldn’t use a little extra money for gifts?

It’s 7:40 in the morning and a student walks into my room…
“Good morning Miss Smith, how ya doing? Listen, do you want to join my multi-level pyramid scheme?”

When I asked what we’d be selling, he said he hadn’t decided that yet. He just wants to make sure he’s got people interested before he starts.

Overheard in 3rd period:
Student A: "You know Randallstown?"
Student B: "Oh, you mean that building that looks pregnant?"

When you finally submit your 17-page research paper which means the end of this grad class

[Mademoiselle Smith @mllesmith3]

Student: Miss Smith, is there a French 3 here?
Me: Yes.
S: Do you teach it?
Me: I do next semester.
S: Oh I’m definitely not taking French 3 then. Just imagine the torture you’d put us through! 🤨

I’m also learning that I don’t remember a lot of the geometry I supposedly learned when I was a sophomore in high school 🤔

[Mademoiselle Smith @mllesmith3]

I’m learning a lot this year but it’s not what I thought I’d be learning.

[Mademoiselle Smith @mllesmith3]

I’m also learning Honors Geometry from the classroom down the hall from my office.
