When most people think of a teacher they think 'oh, that's not a hard job...plus you get summer's off'. Well maybe they're right, it isn't a hard job, but it's extremely time consuming. My hours may only be 7-1, but a true teacher never stops thinking about ways to improve the class and lessons.
I come home from work, and immediately reflect on my lesson. Then I make changes to future lessons. And don't even get me started on classroom set-up, behavioral methods, rewards...it's endless. So, sure--we may get summers off, but we are working from the moment we wake up till we close our eyes at night. Even when I'm with people, I'm thinking 'that would be a good idea for class!' Shh, don't tell my friends that though.
On that note. Here are some recent picture of my classroom. It feels pretty bare right now. The furniture I've ordered hasn't arrived yet. So the after pictures will be posted later.
