Goodbye...

Goodbye to... 40 students desks, 4 bookshelves, 3 computers, 150 dry erase markers & 8 erasers, 38 college banners, 21 posters, 30 dictionaries, 2 file cabinets, 125 textbooks, 21 fluorescent lights...


Goodbye to...daily objectives, homework assignments, daily agenda, higher level thinking...
Goodbye to... emails from parents who wonder why their "perfect" child has a 23% in the class, the grade book, printing tests & homework assignments, "one on one's" talking to Johnny about why school is more important than skateboarding, why marijuana is not an effective way to attract the opposite sex, and why listening to an Ipod during class equals detention...

Goodbye to grading & returning papers...

Goodbye to file cabinets full of tests, lessons, band aids, movies, screwdrivers, fly swats, candy, hot Cheetos, items taken from children such as: cell phones, sunflower seeds, Ipods, cell phones, shoelaces, hats, cell phones, basketballs, balloons...and cell phones
Goodbye to room 406...

Good bye to Las Vegas High School...
HELLO SUMMER!!!

(Also, along with that goodbye, I got a transfer to another high school to teach PE. Wahoo!! )

New Email Address

Okay, so...BYU just totally deleted my whole email account last week...I was so mad!!!! I mean, okay, maybe I am a loser for still using it two years after I graduate college ... but they usually send you an email notifying you that it will be deleted. Instead, mine just magically disappeared. Argh! So this is my new email address:
mvlawther at gmail dot com

Have a great weekend! :)
