SURPRISE! I moved to Colorado...

As I was basking in the joy of the endless possibilities that this school year would bring, my husband received orders that would take us from Louisiana to Colorado. So with sadness in my heart I had to pack up and leave the most exciting school year ever.

Upon arriving in Colorado in September, I had an interview 2 days later. This was before we were settled, had a home, had our children enrolled in school or child care, before our belongings had arrived ad so on. I was blessed to be offered the position although I was nervous to take it, seeing that we had just arrived in the state. Reluctantly I accepted the English Language Development (ELD) math position. I would teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade ELD math as well as a group of regular 7th grade math students. I viewed this as a learning opportunity and a chance to add another certification notch to my belt...

Let's see how this all works out. To be continued...

A new adventure

I've been teaching middle school math since 2008 and I love it! I'm super excited about being offered an opportunity to implement the Careers in Technology class for the 2014-2015 school year. My principal picks up on my "creativity and knack for all things technology" so he's taking a chances on me. I was also chosen as the Math Teacher Leader and asked to design Individual Student Data Binders (ISDBs) for the upcoming school year all while being apart of the Teacher Instructional Leadership Training (TILT) Team. Whoa...Now that was a mouth full! Did I mention my 5 year old was accepted into the magnet program? All of these exciting opportunities and endless possibilities makes me more eager about the upcoming school year than ever. Stay tuned and join me on my journey as I decipher my new normal of teaching a whole new subject.
