Do I know what I've gotten myself into?

I have accepted a new teaching job for the 2008-2009 school year-junior high math! I know what you're thinking: "She must be crazy!" Possibly, quite possibly.

I will be teaching at the junior high in Leoti, so that means no more driving, no more stopping at four different places in the morning before I actually "begin" my day, no more shuffling Lane around when I am out of town, and no more IEP's!

What this also means is hall duty, lunch duty, 5,482 papers to grade, but also, a sense of belonging to one school! I am definitely looking forward to that. :)

I will have a busy summer trying to get ready for the coming school year. We start inservice on August 7 (gasp), so there really isn't much of a summer. Anyway, I'm excited and nervous so keep me in your prayers.

You are going to do a super job! I am looking forward to telling Aubrey to call you when she has math homework. She's in AP Math! Ha. Not my cup of tea ;)

Yay, Gwen! This is an exciting change (though probably a little scary). You'll do a great job!

Very exciting! Is it weird teaching in the same school that you once roamed? It will be nice to be more settled.

Hey. I saw in the Standard (dad has it sent to us) that your church is showing a video by Dutch Sheets for the National Day of Prayer. At least I think it was your church. Anyway, he is so awesome to hear speak. He wrote one of my favorite books. If you get a chance, do check him out.
