Even First Day Teachers Get the Jitters

So yesterday was my first day as a 6th grade English Language Arts teacher (I got switched which was more than ok, less prep:). Besides everyone and their mom getting engaged, I have begun teaching! I was super nervous and at about 8:45, I realized they are just kids. Praise the Lord! Anyway KBTX and our very own Craig Weaver of LH walked into the building and my principal came up to me...and these words came out of his mouth: "KBTX wants to interview a new teacher and I think you would be great at it!" Thus I led them to my classroom and on my first day of teaching, I did an interview with kbtx...and was on the nightly news! If you would like to see it, go to kbtx's website and there is an article and a video...ENJOY! Go Davila Texans!

So little time...


So post all the weddings (insert pic from DC with lise), I've had a pretty busy summer! I hung with the rents in New Mexico for a mini vacation...I got to see my awesome dad rock climb for the first time at age 54! That was sweet! My dad is great. Since then I also got a JOB! Yes that is right! I will be teaching starting Monday (tomorrow)! Actually just inservice things but, teaching, like in my own classroom...weird huh? I am teaching 7th and 8th grade Language Arts at Davila, the new Bryan middle school this fall! I just got the job this past week and I am up and going tomorrow. More on that when I actually have a clue what I'm doing. For now, I have a JOB!
