What's it all about

Too many times have I been told, "you should've written that down!"
If you haven't guessed by now my fellow blogger and I are both teachers, elementary school teachers. I wanted to create a place where we can share our (sometimes outlandish) daily teaching life happenings with others. This is NOT another place for us to pitch our classroom ideas or share professional development opportunities. However, if you would like to contribute an idea I promised you won't be burned at the stake.
After ranting and telling my husband ALL about my day at home, he reminded me (as many have before) I should be writing all of this down. That's what he said but I'm sure what he meant was..."please just write it down so I don't have to listen to it." He, as you might have guessed, is NOT a teacher. This inspired me to create a place to get it out there. What actually happens in a school day? How does spending the entire day with 6 year olds affect a person when they only have limited adult interaction.
Teachers have so many ideas and (suprisingly) many of them crash and burn. Likewise, in all the education that teachers go through, the majority of the job is never taught nor mentioned. I fear that if it was, all of the education students might run screaming.
Like it, love it or hate it; Here it is, uncensored and unabridged. You might laugh or you might cry, all of these experiences make us exactly who we are; Teachers.
