I've heard that teachers are very forgiving and that super model boyfriends are allowed one slip before being kicked off the island. Have you heard that?
When is the first day???!!! I know it comes in early August in Florida.
I remember how scared I was, too, the first year. And you know what, every year I always got the same "first day" anxieties that the kids got! LOL.... But it was always fantastic and wonderful. And it's gonna be fun! And if it isn't, then you are gonna make it FUN!
Yeah, Brooke!
You are gonna be SO GREAT!!!! I only wish I could be there to see you ROCK those little munchkins' worlds! ;)
how fun. i'm getting so excited for lovie to go back to school. for some reason i love school supply shopping. i guess i love office supply stores in general (i have a pen and pencil facination - trying to find the perfect one).
If you get nervous, just imagine all the students naked.... uh, forget that. Not a good idea. Imagine me naked. Uh, not a good idea either. Let me go to the gym a couple of times and I'll get back to you. Imagine yourself naked. Woo hoo. Works for me.
Good luck with teaching Brooke. I have the utmost respect for teachers. One of those professions that definitely deserves to make way more money than they do. I have contemplated teaching numerous times, but for some reason I shy away every time.
You all rock. I would thank you each individually but I'm so tired right now my eyes are crossed. So, kisses all around.
Also, the rules are two of five that the average primary teacher puts up in the classroom from the very first day. You all may be able to keep your hands and feet to yourself, but 34 six year olds can't! (I'm team teaching - that's why so many kids)
Hey Brookalina :) If your blog is any indication as to how fun you are, your students are gonna have a blast! I can already imagine them whispering to themselves "hey, she's really cool!" They'll be as scared and uncertain as you are those first few days. Sheesh, it sure brings back the memories. :)
Thanks all! Coming back to these comments means so much. I've been putting in 11 hour days and I can't remember the last time I was this f*cking tired. OY!! I need a massage!
I suspect you'll be inspiring many a childhood crush amongst the 6 year olds. I can just see it it 20 years from now. You run into a former student... "Oh Miss B! It's you! You're still as pretty as I remember. I had such a crush on you! By the way, I'm a UN embassador now and I just brokered a lasting peace in the Middle East. And I owe it all to those lessons in sharing and respecting others that you taught me. Thanks, Miss B! *hugs*"
Hey it could happen! The future is in good hands. ;-D
GWA - and that is exactly why I'm doing this, cause it sure ain't the pay.
Ruben - of course it is!
Uber - ewwwww!
MoMo - it went really well. Over half of my class showed up. It's all a blur. I don't remember which parent went with which student. I'm a failure already! But I got my first hug from a student so it was all worth it.

Brooke, being a teacher, if you're "with" a guy and he does something wrong, do you make him do it again? Does he have to show his work?
You're really too good of a person to have to put up with me.
JJ - am I mad at you for something? Remind me so I can properly punish you.
YNH - and again, you made me spill my coffee. Anyone who makes me laugh like you do is well worth putting up with.
I will bring you an apple a day if you will let me be your pet.
Seriously though, lots of luck, those kids can be horrors!
feet..ok..hands? wtf?
Brooke!!!!

anyway, hope you're having fun!
if I bring you a nice polished apple, what do I get, Teach?
Congratulations and best of luck to you, Brooke. You are already quite a teacher to all of us. Your students are lucky to have you!
Being a teacher has to be one of the hardest and most under-paid jobs out there. Bless you!
I wish you wonderful students, who are eager to learn! And I wish you wonderful memories you will hopefully share with all of us!!
This is just so grown up of you. I am jealous, in that odd sort of you have such a respectful job sort of way.
If you get nervous, just imagine all the students naked.... uh, forget that. Not a good idea. Imagine me naked. Uh, not a good idea either. Let me go to the gym a couple of times and I'll get back to you. Imagine yourself naked. Woo hoo. Works for me.

Have a great school year!
I can't believe the time has come! I am so proud of you!
Please keep me up to date on everything.

Best wishes Brooke. Can't wait to hear all about it. I'm sure you mentioned this before, but what grade are you teaching?
Good Mooorning, Ms. Brooke. Since I know I'm unable to keep my hands to myself, I'm just going to go put myself in timeout.
Hope you have great kids in your classes!
I've got it bad... got it bad... got it bad...
I'm hot for teacher!
Hands to myself???? What? - that's no fun.

and don't forget to floss regularly.
34 kids?!!!
Team teaching?!!
So, you're rotating with 6 yr olds?! wow! They're starting that rotation earlier and earlier!
Which areas will you be teaching this little team of students?
La la la (Ubie's fingers are in her ears) la la la (Ubie is ignoring Eldest's impending Kindergarten debut) La la la...

And here I go bananas sometimes with just my 3!! You go girl! :)
Hugs..
good gawd....I just read my own post. I think i'm speaking pidgin without the accent (thanks mom). UGH....off to bed with me.
Hey Brooke,
I would love to team teach sometime so I'll be real interested to hear more about it! Good luck! First grade sounds like fun!
Good luck!!!
Wait, my teachers were never hot like this illustration.
Come to think of it, I like her outfit . . . Maybe I can Look for Less it . . . :)
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Thanks all! Coming back to these comments means so much. I've been putting in 11 hour days and I can't remember the last time I was this f*cking tired. OY!! I need a massage!
where's the SMB with the hot oil when you need him? I'm sure he'll be arriving soon. Just soak in the tub til he arrives. :)
LOL! Can you read minds? I just got out of the tub!
Mmmmm... naked schoolteacher.... schoolboy fantasy....
Or was that just me?
Good Luck Brooke!

I'm wih Beefheart. Not in that way, though.
It's hard keeping your hands to yourself. lol
Even your gym teacher? I bet their groins were stinky from wearing those polyester shorts.

GWA - and that is exactly why I'm doing this, cause it sure ain't the pay.
