If you’ve read my blog since August, you know it’s been a long year for me.
New standards…a new state test…a disappointing VAM score.
Ahem.
This past week, students and teachers endured four very long day of reading tests.
I personally proctored 720 minutes of said tests.
The students were incredible! Props to my Guidance department for its organization. Shout-out to my fellow proctors. By Thursday, Mr. A and I had our routine down pat.
Grades that didn’t test had delayed starts each day, so the first class didn’t have to report for duty until 1:05.
On Thursday, the LAST day of testing, I happily closed the door of the testing lab for the final time this go-round.
After I had returned my test materials to the guidance counselors and wheeled my cooler back to my classroom, I knew I needed a way to get rid of the adrenaline flowing through my body.
With one eye watching my classroom door, I let loose…
When I got home, I dared to post it on Instagram.
And Facebook.
Because, if you’ll remember, I am “basic.” Look it up in Urban Dictionary if you don’t understand the term.
Ahem.
Rooster commented on the video, and when I didn’t understand, I called him. He was at work, you see.
He explained that he was questioning my sanity because there wasn’t any music playing.
I assured him that there was music playing in my head.
Please don’t get out a white jacket, okay?
I’m fine. Really.
But…his words stuck with me, so I turned on my internet-enabled television and got on Youtube.
Oh yes I did.
I found the song that I should have danced to earlier…
And I posted that on Instagram.
And Facebook.
The Mr. called about this time.
“Hey, what are you up to?” he asked.
“Oh, nothing. Just hanging out,” I said.
Right…
You see, a teacher builds up a LOT of stress during the year.
I had more moves to share…more extra energy with which to share with…
And I posted that on Instagram.
And Facebook.
Be thankful that Instagram has a limit of fifteen seconds, because I danced for the length of BOTH songs.
Ahem.
You guys know how much I love Dancing with the Stars. For a number of years, I have often said that there should be a show called Dancing with the Teachers.
Do you think I’d be a good candidate or would you be more inclined to agree with the following picture that a friend posted on my wall today?
Bahahaha!!!!
