Hello. It's me. The teacher.

Hi. I'm a new teacher. I just graduated from college (wait, that's actually a lie--I graduate in two days) and I got a new job teaching at a middle school in what feels like the middle of nowhere (but that's just because I'm from a big city...). I'm excited, but terrified at the same time.

I'm teaching Family and Consumer Sciences Education to 6-8 graders. I love family and consumer sciences. It used to be called Home Economics--but now we have a new fancy title so that people won't think we're outdated and unnecessary. Because I assure you, home economics is necessary.

I'm starting this blog as an opportunity to share lesson plans, vent, cry, rejoice, and learn. I'm keeping it pretty anonymous (if you didn't notice from my opening paragraph)--that way if someone stumbles upon it, I can't get sued. So don't go saying "Hey Mrs. so-and-so, how's teaching at such-and-such school in blank-blank city." Because that would totally mess up the anonymity part of my blog. If you want to get in touch with me, just leave a comment. I'll track you down from there...
