Subbing

Hello all!!
Well I was getting quite frustrated with the subbing situation. All of my paperwork had come back about three weeks ago and I hadn't gotten called! So I called the district and they said that I hadn't been okayed yet, but I had been told that I had. So it came out that the company who hires subs just hadn't let my district know that I was on the list yet! Grrrrrr. This happened on Monday. On the brighter side, I subbed in Kindergarten on Tuesday and I am subbing in 2nd grade on Thursday. I am sooo excited. I really like it and it keeps me busy too :)
Well that's all!

Classes and Teaching!

Well, my meeting yesterday went fairly well. I decided to do my concentration on Literacy for my grad classes. One of them that I'm taking in the fall is Writing Across the Curriculum, which I am super excited about! This summer, I'll be taking two in June and two in July, along with working part-time. I guess I should enjoy my down time now because the busy days are coming!
I am on the edge of my seat as far as finding out my grade goes! I know I keep talking about that, but my gosh I just wanna know! It's all in God's timing though and I trust that He'll give me the grade that's best for me. I guess we might be able to get into our classrooms as early as June, but it could be later too. The sooner the better as far as that goes because let me tell you I am indecisive and having four walls to decorate will surely take me some time! Have a great night! :)

Contract Signing

Soooo I sign my teaching contract today! Woohoo! I am also taking grad classes starting this summer, which I don't know if I've mentioned. But I'm also choosing my area of concentration today! I wish I could just pick them all, ha! Right now I'm debating between Improvement of Instruction, Literacy, or Math and Science. Personally, I love math and science but I think literacy would be more beneficial to focus on. Anyways, I've got some things to do before the meetings but have a great day everyone! :)

Updates, Updates!

Good morning! Well the superintendent of my district just called to see if I was certified in Early Childhood...and unfortunately I'm not so I told him I wasn't. In our district you have to have your Early Childhood degree to teach kindergarten, so sadly I will not be teaching kindergarten. I did my student teaching in kindergarten and absolutely loved it! However, he said a first or second grade placement would be good too. Between you and me (and the rest of the blogger world) I'm pulling for second. But I will be happy with wherever I get placed! I just can't wait to find out! Well, that's all for now. Adios!

Hello!

Hi there! If you read my "About Me" section you know that I will be teaching this coming fall! Unfortunately, I don't know what grade I will be teaching yet. I am an elementary teacher, so I know it will be somewhere between K-5. I am so anxious to find out!! Right now I am just accumulating any teaching ideas I can! I am also subing this spring, which will hopefully give me some ideas too! Well, that's all I really have right now. Happy Thursday! :)
