I love Science!

For those of you that knew me growing up, you would think that I'm lying.  I always sucked at Science, I hated Science classes, and I was the laughing stock of my Physics class because everyone was sure my teacher and I were having an affair since I was in his room until 430 PM every day getting help.  Now that I look back on it, I'm not sure why I cared so much since I got accepted into college the third week of September, but whatever, what's past is past.

Ironically, my dad ran into my physics teacher last summer and told him that I was living in Mexico, teaching Physics, and my teacher stared at him open-mouthed and simply said, "Wait... Sarah... Cram?"  That's right, Mr. Meier, and I love it!

In college, I decided to do all of my student teaching and practicums where I got to choose in Math and Science classrooms... I knew that that's where most of the jobs were.  And now, it's so hard to imagine myself doing anything else.  Very often, I miss teaching English, or the idea of teaching it.  I feel like it would be a much better place to get to know my students.  But I have days like today and it's hard to imagine myself teaching anything else!

Today, I made up a board game for my kids.  It was about making healthy lifestyle choices... I made all the pieces myself, and Camille helped me by making the game board.  The kids had to exercise for some of the cards.  So many of them told me how much they loved it because they actually got to get up and move around.  And I just felt so proud... not of me, but of them!  Some days I just stare at them in amazement... because my students really ARE amazing.  I'm going to miss my sixth graders so much.  I know I've found a place where I feel like I'm home and appreciated... and so soon, it's going to come to an end!  It seems impossibly sad to think about it!

I love this place. <3.
