I am a first year elementary p.e. teacher and high school coach. I spend my school days spilt between the little creatures with big eyes and boogies and then the "too cool for school" young and youthful adolescents (or should I say grown-ups because "I'm 18") that are, whether they know it or not, the future.

So, what are my intentions for becoming a first time blogger you may ask...

1. Share my rare yet extraordinary stories (yes, fables and tall tales included), unpredictable comments and the questionable quotes I encounter daily with these stunning "young minds"

AND

2. Put a smile on your face or lend a guaranteed laugh when needed

Without trying to sound too cliche, kids do say the darnedest things. In fact, I know any educator who has left their carbon footprint in the world of education would, without a doubt, bubble in the answer choice: strongly agree.

I love my job and love my little creatures with big eyes and boogies. Therefore, my plan (aka "goal") is to enlighten you on all the moments that I get to share with them…where they do far more than enlighten me on just about anything and everything imaginable (I know, scary, but true)...whether they are aware of it or not.

One of my favorite quotes I've heard in education...

 "If you promise not to believe everything your child says happens at school, I'll promise not to believe everything he/she says happens at home."  ~Anonymous Teacher

As promised...my first funny:

"My Mom doesn't have a pee-pee. She pees out of her butt. Her pee-pee is like this big (displays the universal sign for really, really small), it's the size of a nub!"
