I'm Really a Sciene Teacher! I think my new teaching assignment has finally sunk in. I'm going to be teaching just science. That's exactly what I want to be doing. The thing is, I never have that kind of good luck. I'm kind-of the poster child for Murphy's Law. Normally, I'd expect to hear that they were giving me an assignment change to something I really didn't want (or feel confident enough) to teach. You know, I'd wind up in metal shop and PE. The district has to do all kinds of extra paperwork to put me in science only. I am still 3-4 classes from having my authorization to go single-subject. But, they are willing to do it. It was their idea. I can't believe that! As my friend, Lisa, says, it's about time my luck turned. She says that I deserve it. It's hard for me to think that way, but I'm trying. It's so weird that I fell into teaching science. I took as few science classes as I could in college. I tolerated science classes in high school. I always thought that I'd either teach primary grades (1st or 2nd), or end up in the middle school teaching a Language Arts/Social Studies core class. I chose to teach math and science the year I was pregnant with Jared. The reason: I thought it would be easier for a sub to cover for me. Those subjects go in a clear order. Teaching writing and grading lots of essays seemed harder for a sub. And I fell in love with the science. It's so odd the way things happen. past | future0 comments Listening to: Reading: Eating/drinking: Do what to me?!? - April 24, 2007 Wicked funny websearch - April 05, 2007 Trot out the dogs 'n ponies - March 31, 2007 Almost done... - March 20, 2007 Who am I? - March 12, 2007 READ ME |
