Today I began my first Sunday visit with the newest addition in our family. I was so excited to see the little man today because for the first time I got some pictures with his eyes open. Stay tuned I will be posting more pictures of our precious one as he continues to grow.

"I ACCEPT"

Yes, I know its been a long time again between my postings. You will have to cut me some slack though I've been living life in the fast lane. Since the last time I posted on my blogspot I have...

1. Hosted a baby shower for my Aunt Krystal and baby boy "Brycelyn."
2. Started the dating life again.
3. Interviewed for an Assistant Principal position in Cumberland County.
4. Celebrated my 26th birthday.
5. Spent a week in Charleston, SC and Folly Beach, SC.
6. and Most importantly

I WAS OFFERED THE POSITION! I am proud to announce I am the new Assistant Principal at Glenn Martin Elementary School. I am excited to be joining the administrative team of the largest elementary within the Cumberland County School System.

My feet have already hit the ground running as I begin my new career this week. I ask that you keep me in your thoughts and prayers as this is a new adventure as well as journey in my life.

Hopping Into A New Teaching Adventure

When you first hear that someone is a teacher, one might think it sure would be nice to have the summer off. If you are a teacher you know that having the summer off is only a myth. This year I am moving uptown as my colleagues like to say. As the teaching assignments were given the last week of May I found out I would be teaching Middle School Science. Indeed, I'm on the move again. This will my third move in 5 years of teaching. There are advantages and disadvantages to being moved so often. As an administrator one moves a teacher for either good or bad reasons. I have been assured that this is to challenge me as an educator and give me the experiences I need to one day reach my future career goals. I am excited and nervous about the drastic change, but I realize that God only puts on us what he knows we can handle. What doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger.

I will be teaching four fifty-mintue classes consisting of two eight grade sections, one seventh grade section and a sixth grade section. The rest of the day I will be invovled in a new state required intervention program called RTI (Readiness to Intervention). This program invovles one-on-one tutoring with at-risk students K-3.

I've been busy lately with trying to plan how to decorate my room. I have finally decided to have a classroom theme of frogs. My classroom motto will be "Leap Into Learning." I have my work cut out for me on the agenda this summer

1. fill in the one hundred holes in my walls (the teacher before me loved to hang things with bolts, MEN!)
2. paint the front three walls dark green
3. paint a cabinet a lighter shade of green and trim in the same dark green
4. touch up the white walls
5. draw a mural (I will attempt to do this myself, I have made a sketch)
6. decorate the walls
7. organize the furniture
8. unpack my storage bins
9. hang bullentin board in hall for student work
10. look at the state standards
11. familarize myself with the curriculum
12. mentally prepare
13. post pictures for you to see of "our new pad"

Of yes, I am also sponsoring Student Council this year so if you currently sponsor or ever have I would love to hear from you on some things you know that works with the club.

Thanks for hopping by...

Hope you are having a good summer

The Mommy-to-Be

I know many of you have been awaiting some updated pictures of Krystal during her pregnancy. I have been extremely busy lately and unable to spend as much time with her as I would have liked. Our family meet and ate dinner on Mother's Day at Cracker Barrel. She finally let me have a sneak peak at her developing baby belly. She is actually bigger than the pictures show, but she is able to keep it tucked in and hidden since she has such strong abs.
