Just read Granna's blog and felt a bit guilty. So, I thought I'd update.
I'm very happy right now with my job. As you know, I aggresively pursued a job at another school which fell through. I was quite disappointed, but knew that God must have had different plans. I was right. I'm glad I'm still at PGES. I'm having a terrific year. While I have a group of students with a wide range of abilities, they are good kids and make teaching fun. Last year's group was wonderful and currently my best, but this group is not far behind! One aspect that has contributed to the success is working with a student teacher. She's doing an excellent job. Having her in the classroom has helped me be more professional and organized!
I've also begining to use my slate interactive board in class. Wow, it is neat! Basicially, it's a wireless tablet than can be written on. Using a program much more complex than powerpoint, I can give lessons that allow the students to interact with the slate. This is going to change my teaching completely.
I know I probably won't be this happy all year long, but I'm going to try hard to keep my optimism going!
