2016-2017 DREAM Schedule!!
When I first received my position at “S-School” in 2013 I was over-the-moon excited to get a permanent position in a small rural school that was only a ten minute drive from our home. Although my schedule didn’t exactly match my teachable background I was told that my schedule would eventually included those classes as the years went on. Here we are three years later and I am THRILLED to share that my principal has definitely spoiled me and I will be going back to work in the fall to my dream teaching schedule 🙂 I… Read More

I say that I inadvertently took on the responsibility…. While it is encouraged, Grade Wars isn’t something that was deemed mandatory by my admin team so I actually didn’t take it on during my… Read More
