community building

Shortly after getting back from winter break our school's fourth and fifth graders packed their gear and set off to camp. I had the pleasure of joining them and boy did we have a good time. As a new teacher, I'm not exactly sure why both grades went, but it ended up being quite a few students. I don't have the exact numbers but, I think it was around a hundred young people. We had plenty of parent volunteers and about half a dozen school staff all quite excited for this January camping experience in a gorgeous part of Washington State.

I’ve gotten over a bit of the apprehension to sub, but not completely.  I’ve applied to sub at a district close to me.  I’ll see how that goes and perhaps apply to sub at more districts later.  I’ve also continued to apply for open positions in Seattle.  I’ll keep you all posted on how that goes.
