My Day Job

Hola.  Soy la maestra de español. I am Mrs. Fenn, the Spanish teacher at Stansbury High School. I LOVE my job.

In the last six years:

1. I have learned that being organized and prepared is essential to being a good teacher.
2. I have learned that teenagers do not think before they speak and to not let them bother me, no matter what. Even when they say that I am old and ugly.  
3. I have learned that teenagers are awesome, but my boys will NEVER grow up. 
4. I have learned more Spanish words and grammar than I ever thought possible. 
5. I have learned that I am actually a pretty good teacher. 
6. I have learned how to prepare graduation commencement and pageants. 
7. I have learned to not sweat the small stuff.   
8. I have learned that I never appreciated my teachers when I was a student.
9. I have learned that speaking only Spanish in class is very important but its a pain in my butt. 
10. I know that  NOTHING is more important than my boys.
