Everyone:

So, as a teacher, there's nothing I like more than working with kids. I actually like teaching. I used to really hate kids. All kids. I swore I'd never have any of my own. But, then I became a teacher. Now, I adopt about 130 kids a year, and I love it. All that being said, most things that take me out of my classroom (ie. meetings, a training, being sick, etc.) usually make me less happy than if I was just able to teach. However, sometimes I'm told those meetings will help me become a better teacher and will help me better serve my students. Well, that's where I am today. I'm at PVHS for an Aeries Analytics Training. It should be pretty awesome, considering I like data and analysis more than most normal people.

Today I'm learning how to work the system... no, not "the" system, the new Aeries System.

Don't forget, EVERYONE has a quiz of some sort tomorrow... either Chapter 8 (AP) or a Geography Quiz (MWH)
