thursday thirteen--the fifth!
1. The air conditioning in my classroom (which did NOT work when it was warm)--will always come on full blast when it is 49 degrees outside.
2. I really, really, really love my job.
3. That no matter how much you work over break, the second that school starts up again you will already be behind on the paperwork.
4. The kids miss you.
5. My voice needs a few days to harden up to talking so much--I sounded like a goose on Tuesday! I occasionally honked! Eek!
6. My co-workers are awesome.
7. My principal is awesome.
8. My janitorial staff is beyond awesome. Seriously, they rock!
9. Teaching is tiring.
10. Scholastic book orders are like Christmas once a month.
11. Winter Break is fast approaching.
12. Commas, and other grammatical goodies, are more difficult to teach than ever.
13. The kids are growing up so fast.
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!View More Thursday Thirteen Participants

Scholastic Books! I remember those! (Though I almost forgot...hey, there's another topic for Holidailies! My first bibliophilic experiences.)
Very cool list. I remember Scholastic Books too when I was in school. I used to love ordering them. But than any books I loved getting.
You sound like a great teacher. :) I always enjoyed receiving my Scholastic book orders when I was a kid! I loved reading (and still do) so it was great to receive new books, even though I borrowed most of my books from the library.
Have a good day. :)

We LOVE Scholastic book orders! We're having a Scholastic sale at school right now. I volunteered yesterday, will be back today. And I've already spent waaaaaaay too much money. ;)
I've posted my Thursday Thirteen, too. Enjoy!
Love the Scholastic book orders!
We have our book fair coming next week!! Yeah!!!
Happy TT
Scholastic book orders are always such a treat in my house (we have three kids). I'm a novelist and a bookworm, and all of my kids are readers too...so we get to pore over the catalogs and pick the books we want.
Then when the orders come! Woohooo! We're all sitting on the couches, reading that night.
Thanks for stopping by my TT: Thirteen Lines from Classic Novels You Should Have Read by Now (can you name the book?)
I loved Scholastic books. I got a book everytime that little paper catalog came out.
I don't teach per se, but I do programs and lead nature walks for school kids and I start to lose my voice after about 2 hours of nonstop talking (that doesn't happen very often, the nonstop talking part) I don't know how you do it.
My 13 are up.
