Evaluations!

So today was the end of the trimester at South Cache where I student teach. I gave my students evaluations of me to see how they think I am doing as their student teacher. I got some really good feedback from most of the students. Many told me that I'm loud (which is what I've been told by my sisters/brother my whole life) and a lot told me that I nee to me meaner and that I should start "dishin' out lunch detension". Both good suggestions. But my reason for this post is that I think 8th graders are just hillarious. They make me laugh so hard! Here is my favorite response from the evalutations:

When asked what three things I could do to make class more interesting one student responded:
-"Don't teach math"
-"Light stuff on fire"
-"Have a monkey sidekick"


So there you have it. The formula to be a successful math teacher is that I should not teach math, become a pyromaniac, and train a chimp to work along side me. That's all you need to impress 8th graders!

Maui

Mike and I had a FABULOUS time in Maui with Kim, Pat, Angie, and Rob. We loved the warm air and the sunshine and we miss it already! Here are some pics from our wonderful vacation.
