Yes, I’ve been a bad blogger lately.
I’ve wanted to write, but I’ve been swamped with teaching responsibilities and extracurricular activities such as these…
Although I don’t have children playing high school soccer anymore, I still love the kids from Rooster’s school, and I feel like I’ve got this, my last year, to support a few more kids and get them graduated.
The basketball? Well, see, I have five students playing on JV and Varsity, so I wanted to support them too.
I don’t think that most people realize that a teacher’s job extends way beyond academic activities.
We invest huge chunks of ourselves into our charges’ non-academic lives.
We can’t help it.
Students have a way of working themselves into our hearts.
And so, if my blogging is sporadic for the next little while, it’s either because I’m lesson planning, attending sporting events, or sleeping from the fatigue that has overtaken the remaining hours of my life.

Trust me, students noticed which teachers support them in their extra-curricular activities and which ones do not. For some, you may be the only adult in the crowd to offer support and encouragement because their family is so dysfunctional.
You are such a great mom and an outstanding teacher! Those kids will forever remember your BEING THERE!
Kids definitely notice and tuck this away…its fun to see a teacher outside of the classroom!
I think it’s great that you take the time to support all of “your kids”!
