Call me professor...

Back in April/May, I applied to be an online teacher to BYU. I went through the whole application process. I did a two week online application process on the computer that took over my evenings. Then I was told that they did not have enough positions for me. I was heartbroken and upset over wasting my time. I guess that is what they do. It was not a waste of time because...out of nowhere, I received a phone call about two weeks ago saying that they could offer me a position to teach a class online next semester in January. Of course, I said that I was interested because we need the extra money and I want to get my foot in the door to college teaching. So..I start my three week certification course this Monday and then I will be having my own online class starting in January. It will be ESL math.  I am excited even if it is math but I get to teach students that are speakers of other languages. I am especially excited for that! If I do great in this certification course and the class, I have a chance for rehire if the numbers for enrollment are there. Yay for me!

Busy week

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
