Getting My Master's...

So, for the past 1 year and 4 months, I've been working on my Master's degree. I will finally be finished in August. I'm so excited for a number of reasons. I will finally be able to spend more time focusing on my family. I will also be able to apply all of this wonderful information to my classroom. But, the main reason: no more writing papers! Yes, I am a teacher and I know the importance of it...but, I am not a great writer when it comes to formal papers. I enjoy blogging, email, and texting, even. But, formal papers, UM, NO! So, when my students complain about papers and projects, I get it. I understand completely. But, as a teacher, I understand the purpose. Luckily, my sixth graders don't have many papers to write. And, now that I'm more well-versed in technology, I'm guessing that I won't be requiring my students to write many papers!
