(no subject)
It was just pointed out to me that I never actually posted about my new job.
I'm switching schools this year, though I have the same job title (learning specialist) and similar responsibilities. As I've said to some others, this job is just like my old one, only better in every way. For one, I'm now in a public school, which is what I wanted to begin with. Also, the middle school where I'm now teaching is ten minutes away from my house, where my last job was 45 minutes to an hour away in traffic.
I'm teaching small group special ed classes, which is why I have my own (small) classroom this year. I get to teach 6th grade math (which I did last year too) and 6th, 7th, and 8th grade English, which still hasn't stopped being exciting. I get to teach, in no particular order, A Christmas Carol, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, So Far from the Bamboo Grove, The Crucible, The Giver, Call of the Wild, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Tom Sawyer, plus units on mythology, poetry, and short stories. Perhaps you can tell I'm excited about this.
If anyone had any particular love for any of those books or thoughts from having read them, I would love to hear about it.
I start on Tuesday, after Labor Day.
