Once again, I have TONS in my head, but I'm excited to actually have time to write tonight. I have been SUPER busy preparing for conferences, and tonight I can relax a bit. I plan on going upstairs and reading here in a little while. *grin* The next two days are going to be LONG days!
I have found myself truly happy lately.
This year, I'm different. VERY different.
I'm laughing a lot.
Joking a lot.
Enjoying my students in new ways this year.
I even had a student write a note and tape it to my desk that said, "I don't like you."
That's SO not true. He did it just for the reaction.
He heard me say, "UUUMMMM, that's not nice!" Then I grinned.
I love my job.
Time to go read.
*grin*
LIFE.
IS.
GREAT.

I am in year 23 as a Special Educator at the elementary level. I did one year of Middle School last year though, and loved it! At the moment I'm at the elementary level and do like it. I also serve in the JoyKC community as a volunteer and board member. I also continue to serve at Camp Barnabas as a cabin Mom. I am enjoying this life I'm living!
About Me
- Ms. Springer
- I am a Special Education Teacher who loves the little people in my life. *grin* I was born with Cerebral Palsy and walk with a limp, but it doesn't slow me down at all! I had a dog named Jay who was my best friend. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, watching movies and tv, and going to church. Finding Nemo is my favorite movie of all-time! Reading is one of my FAVORITE things to do!
