I thought I loved teaching high school, until I tried out middle school, and now I don't think I'll ever go back! These last 2 months have been absolutely nothing but rewarding, and SO much fun! The moments I'll never forget:
My first week there, I told my class, "If I see any of you misbehaving during the assembly, you're sitting next to me". Then I see cute Derek intentionally whip out his cellphone, and I snapped my fingers, "Derek, here, now", and he uttered a "Yessss!" and got to sit by me the whole assembly, haha ha.
I was teaching my 8th graders about the milk group, so I brought in the marshmallow fluff and we made "milk mustache" poster pictures, which I put up on a bulletin board outside our classroom.
The intense cologne aroma on everyone, in the halls, and especially all those 13-year-old boys.
How I may never be able to find a parking space at my apartment complex, but at South Hills, I have an entire 200-car lot all to myself.
In my rowdy 7th period, there were 4 boys who I was always having to keep on track. Their names were Travis, Braden, Derek, and Spencer (all four names of my brothers).
My students wave to me in the hallways and say, "See ya Miss Hancock" as I go out to my car!
Feeling a little guilty for being so excited that my two worst students got in a fight and were suspended for 3 days!
The plate activity--see below
Giving all my classes a test on the opening night of my show so I didn't have to talk. And then finding out that the boy I kiss in this show has a little sister, in my 7th period. Awkward! Poor girl, imagine watching your older brother kiss your teacher!

The best one has to be the boy that liked your hair.
And you DO look good in jeans. ;-)
