Teaching 7th grade science has been lots of fun!

I've really enjoyed teaching 7th grade science this year my kids are awesome. I can't believe it's been 16 years since I was in 7th grade science and now 16 years later I'm teaching it. Where does the time go? It does not feel like 16 years! I can vividly remember my middle school days yet I've forgotten so much. I catch myself saying to my kids "act your age", "do you think I was born yesterday"! I tell them "one day you will look back on this and realize it's for your own good, and even though you claim you will NEVER say these things you hate to hear you will when you get older YOU will no matter what you now say"! Then I quickly try to cover up how old I really am by saying "I know I sound old...BUT I'm NOT"! It's been a great year so far. I've had some challenges, but overall it's been a great experience. Tomorrow is parent teacher conferences so check back in a few days to see if I've changed my mind!
