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.

Jenna! It would be so much fun if you worked at Hawthorne!! It's such a great school! Just out of curiosity, do you know the name of the fourth grade teacher who is not returning? And I hadn't heard that Debbie Stoll is the principal at Emerson! That is so great for her!
