I love sixth grade!Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995468380121414850.post-5647555568033188942011-10-13T18:32:12.513-05:002011-10-13T18:32:12.513-05:00How sweet!!

I'm glad that child was there at that moment. <br /><br />AND I'm glad you like 5th grade--because I'm learning a lot from you!<br /><br />Kim<br /><a href="http://joyin6th.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Finding JOY in 6th Grade</a>Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596768050411395194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995468380121414850.post-82875823890625078862011-10-12T22:12:04.980-05:002011-10-12T22:12:04.980-05:00It's so hard to get up there and teach when yo...It's so hard to get up there and teach when you are having those types of days in your personal life.
