First Year Teacher Brags

-My first “you’re my favorite teacher” note

-Having a friend and colleague who’s a Professor of Science Education think that my classroom management idea is SO awesome, he shared it with his class. (ahem, his class of teachers in training!)

-Earning a “highly effective” (highest possible) rating on one of my elements on my first official evaluation.

Birthday Gratitudes

I’m grateful to have made it another year.

I’m grateful for all of the wonderful, loving people in my life, even if being so far away from them makes it tough.

I’m grateful to be in graduate school

I’m grateful to have a new, rewarding career.

Gratitudes 10-1-13

I’m grateful that I feel like I can really go to my AP with problems… And get solutions.

I’m grateful for the internet. I can’t imagine searching for teaching resources, keeping in touch with friends, or going back to grad school without it.

I’m grateful that as much as I sometimes complain about it, I have public transit options to get to work.
