I have an interview!!!

Hi all!  I just wanted to ask for your prayers over the next few days!  I have an interview tomorrow at 11 (Florida time) and I really hope I will get the job!  It's at my church's school, where I also graduated from, so I definitely have connections.  But I don't know if they are looking at anyone else as well.  It's for a 5th grade position.  In no way would this be my first choice if I could pick from any job (since I was hoping for a public school position in a few grades lower), but I think it's my best shot at having a full-time, bill-paying, education-related, benefits-included job for the coming year.   I know I could get really excited about it and really love it, so I'm definitely hoping and praying!  I'll keep you guys updated!

Job Search

Teacher Log: Day 263.

Still looking for a job.  No sightings.  Supplies are running low.  Crew losing hope.  

Just kidding.  Just wanted to see how everyone is doing :)

Hi Everyone!  I'm so glad we've gotten this thing started!!  Actually, I had nothing to do with it, so I'm just glad Noelle got it going! :)  I hope everyone's doing well.  I can't wait to hear about where we all end up in another couple months!  

If anyone comes across anything new or exciting in the realm of education, or if anything exciting for people personally happens, make sure to share!  Love and miss you all!!

Miscellaneous

Hi all,

I'm so glad that Noelle set up the blog. I miss you guys SO much. I'm taking History of Christianity right now and miss all of you as well as our professors. You know I can get into just about anything a teacher wants to teach. I love church history but I'm dying from the sheer volume of material as well as an inability to put all the pieces together. If only my professor knew about graphic organizers!!

No news on the job front...I did that long term sub position at Crone Middle School through June 8. It was a rocky start but by the end I felt OK about being there. I taught reading to 150 8th graders who really didn't want to be doing anything that last month of school. It was an interesting mix of super high achievers and some really troubled kids. The last week of school one of the kids I had the most trouble with was caught with a bag of marijuana and was suspended. The next day another student was found to be part of an iPOD theft ring. The administrators found 14 iPODS with the serial numbers scratched off in his possession.

Other news tidbits...some of you may know...Debby Stoll is the new principal at Emerson. One of the 4th grade teachers at Hawthorne is taking a leave of absence (I've taken my resume over to Mr. Patterson in the vain hope that he'll be able to hire outside of current district employees.) I guess that's it for now.
