Update on the Interviews

-
I heard back from that first principal, and was told that their superintendent had basically put down a hiring freeze so they could reassign current teachers first, which meant our meeting for February 17th had to be pushed to March. I was unaware of any meeting for the 17th, but I let him know that it would have to be before March or in May because of my student teaching...

Then, I decided that I would ask the other principal and Special Education Director for the Fremont School District if I could meet up with them and see their "state-of-the-art" special education site. They were eager to get me out there again to see the school! I have to say it was amazing! Their sensory room has a ball pit, a huge beam that holds the swings, a climbing wall, and a visual sensory room with a color-changing bubble tube, some fiber optic strands, a disco ball, and unbreakable bubble-shaped mirrors. Awesome!! At the end of the tour, they offered me the job and I took them up on it! I go back in March during my spring break because they are not yet on spring break at that time, so I can do some formal observations and talk with the current teacher. I am super excited to say I will be the new Early Childhood Special Education Teacher in St. Anthony this Fall!

Now, to finish up this final semester... student teaching is starting to creep up on me and stressing me out with all of the requirements! I start on March 7th, and end April 29th. (I can do this... I can do this...)

Originally published on 11/25/2018 As some of you old hats to my blog may remember, I began working for VIPKID back in April 2018. That didn't really pan out for me so I had to find something else. Back in August, I started looking for something in sales. I came across a post on ZipRecruiter about insurance sales and applied. Little did I know that first interview would begin a new journey for traveling! Larry and I were able to go to North Carolina earlier this month for a Leaders' Summit. I learned all sorts of good stuff about becoming a leader for my own team. I look forward to implementing that information very soon. We also decided that, since we were there, we would make the most of the trip... Boy, did we ever! The first thing you should know is that we thought we could check into our motel any time of the day. We took a red eye flight from Salt Lake City, UT over to Charlotte, NC, had a rental car waiting for us, and drove two hours or so back to Asheville...

So Many Blogs to Write, So Little Time!

Originally published on 05/09/2018 I have been slacking in my blogging duties... I do apologize! I will say however it is because of my job as a special needs preschool teacher. The end of the year is always super busy for me with multiple evaluations to be done, IEPs to write, etc. June 1st is in my sights though, so I can spend some time catching up on all the blogs I need to write about! :) I also have been getting myself ready for a career change. WHAT?! Yes, that's right. I'm no longer going to be a special needs preschool teacher after June 1st. I am going to work for VIPKID. Ever heard of them? I'm really excited to start this new Journey because I can stay home with my family, as well as travel! I've been getting all of my props ready to go so that when I can open up my schedule I will have everything I need right away. It's been a fun process, and I just LOVE their mascot, Dino. I have a few scouting adventures to write about... One of which is to fi...

Wood Badge - Part 4

Originally published on 02/13/2018 On Day 3 of my Wood Badge Experience, the Bobwhite Patrol was in charge of the flag ceremony. This was a neat experience since I've never been involved in a flag ceremony before. The historical flag that we had to showcase was The Star Spangled Banner, which included 15 stars and 15 stripes. To learn more about this flag, please follow  this link . After all three flags were on their respective poles, we sang our country's National Anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner". One of the things we had to do today was set up a tent. They made it into a competition, and we were not the first ones done, but members of other Patrols came and helped everyone out as the finished their own tents. The is the basic Boy Scouts of America tent, from what I understand. It is also identical to what I slept in for the week. I am grateful that on day 2 I asked for a cot to sleep on, because the ground was just littered with tree roots... Not the most...
