the basics...

right now, i'm working on my last final (due today). after today i will only have one more semester of grad school left - which is internship (my job).

i'm getting ready for my last week of school before christmas break!! this means i actually made it through my first semester teaching 8th graders. the good news is that i still love my job...even though its the most draining and stressful job i've ever had. we're finishing up our final unit, clothing. my students have learned the basics about clothing and sewing and now they have pillows to show for it.

this is how basic some class discussions were:
8th grader: "what?! cotton doesn't grow on sheep??"
me: "no! cotton comes from the cotton plant, wool comes from sheep"
