Teacher Blog

Also to all my friends who care :)

I have started my own "Teacher Blog"

It is called The Brand New Pencil

Teacher Blogs

I loathe to read Teacher Blogs. I could read them all day! I really love to gain insight and ideas to make them my own. The thing is that I cannot find any good and high quality teacher blogs related to third grade. Especially right now with my current state of trying to find worksheets since my projector decided to take a vacation on Tuesday. Oh yes, it decided to break and now wants to travel to figure out if it is to be replaced or repaired.

Oh yes, since I had scanned the quiz to save on copies and to only waste a half sheet of paper, we had to take our quiz the old school way. Thank goodness it wasn't with the overhead (the room i took over had not even used the interactive whiteboard, only overhead), so i kept it real and just wrote my heart out on the board. This picture really wasn't to share, but to remind me what I wrote on the board when grading and since we did not finish the quick check, it was to tell me what I wrote.

Welcome to my life. Everything breaks.

I GOT A JOB!!!

Today, I got offered a teaching job at an elementary school on the outskirts of Aiken, SC. I will be teaching 3rd grade :)

I am super pumped!!!!

Day Four

Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot...

1. When will God show me a sign for his plan for me in life. As much as I love staying busy with subbing and working at the Gap, I truly feel that I am missing out on so much not being in my own classroom. To be practicing what I was taught, and to be implementing my awesome ideas, it is just not the same when subbing and being the classroom nazi.

2. When will I get to be the Big Kid I want to be. Living at home stinks - but heck its free and paid for and I have two awesome roomies - My parents. I am lucky to not have bills right now but I mean I just cannot wait to have my own space eventually.

3. When will it really get to be true fall weather and not this hot one day, cold only in the morning weather.

4. What will I do for halloween this year?

5. Will John and I really go to a corn maize this weekend? I love corn maizes! Ask Laine & Amye, they know my love for them :)

6. Where will the future place me. I am anxious with the direction mine and John's relationship is heading, and wondering where will I be next year. He is 99% sure he will not be at Berkeley next year, he wants to get back closer to home or with a new coach, so I wonder where we will be. This whole year apart thing has been rougher than ever; we did it last year, but I had grad school to keep me busy. This year its just I have a lot of sad days where I cannot wait till the weekend, not because I hate weekdays, because I know I will see him.

7. When will I get motivated to put up all my spring/summer clothes and pull out the fall/winter attire.
