My lottery money dream. And other stuff about me.

So I'm going to be a blogger.

This is not my first attempt at blogging. However it is my first attempt at blogging about what my be the biggest part of my life- my job.

So a little about me so you know who I am...

Name: Amity Wyss
Age: My students think I am between 40 (they get F's) and 17 (they get A's). They are right. I'm 24.
About me:
-Teaching Wise - this is my third year. I've been at the same school same grade all three years. I teach 8th grade science - a mix of advanced, regular, and ESE inclusion students. I teach at a Title 1 Public School in Southwest Florida. I love my job. A lot. I love teaching science and I love teaching middle schoolers. Are they not the funniest people ever? Seriously, middle school definitely sucked as an 11-14 year old, but as an adult, it is excellent. I starting coaching sports last spring (track) and kept it up a lot this year (adding cross country and soccer). That is a fun way to get to know my students but I am not actually super at any of these sports- good thing its middle school! Eventually I really want to work in curriculum planning for science education and/or educational policy in general. But, I know to be an effective educational policy person I need to do my fair share in the classroom. Plus my students really are funny and I can't imagine not having them to talk to every day.
-The rest of my life - in my spare time (I actually have a little bit) I really like to stay home with my two babies and my husband. My babies are fuzzy and black and have 4 legs and weigh about 85lbs each. Cosmo and Gizmo. My lottery money dream is to be able to bring them with me everywhere I go. When I do leave my house I like to watch football, practice yoga, run, have cocktails and girls nights, and hang out with people who make me smile and laugh. But mostly, I wish I could bring my dogs every where I go.
