New Title

Did you notice the new title? I've graduated from being a first year teacher, and I thought the blog should show it.

I'm still learning new things every day (like don't say anything you don't want repeated back to you verbatim by an eight year old in the form of "But you said...."), but I feel much more capable and experienced than I did at this time one year ago.

Yay me! and yay you! if you can also count yourself among the 'no-longer-first-year-teachers.'


Have a delightful UEA weekend, if you're lucky enough to live in Utah. :)

Have you registered?

This week will be a delightfully sweet (and short!) one for me.

It's UEA - so that means a three day week. My favorite day of the week is usually Friday, but when Friday and Wednesday combine (can you say Frendsday?), it definitely tops the favorites list.

On Thursday and Friday, I'm planning on attending the UEA Convention. To tell you the truth, I've been looking forward to it ever since I got my pamphlet in the mail listing the workshop descriptions and schedule of events. I've already planned which workshops to attend to get the most bang for my buck. I know, I know, I'm a nerd.

But honestly - I can't wait to sit in classes and take notes on how to be a better teacher. Plus, there's going to be a forum (ahem, debate) with the front-running gubernatorial candidates for the state.

Doesn't that sound like a riot? I hope to meet you there!
