Imagine yourself in front of 16 five year olds.  Now imagine teaching them how to write during the second month of school.  Now imagine your boss standing in the back of your classroom typing and typing and typing pages of notes on your performance.  Teacher evaluations.  Are they necessary?  Of course.  Are they nerve racking?  Completely.

But, I am happy to report that my lesson kicked some major bootay today and I was rewarded with extremely positive and encouraging feed back by my assistant principal.  After all of the trials and tribulations teachers face on a daily basis, it is so motivational to hear your superior comment on how well you are progressing in your profession.  I'm on top of the world this lovely Tuesday evening!
