Really going to miss some of the ones that are leaving. In addition to the administrative musical chairs, we are loosing a few good teachers to a well deserved retirement, which is good. Just sad to see them go, especially the ones who weren't invited back.
On a more interesting note- the district also announced that they are planning on creating a "Vocational High School" in the next year or two. Whatever that means. I'm definitely interested in seeing where that goes and being a part of it, albeit from my position in the middle school as a feeder program. Have I mentioned that I *love* my job?
Also had a chance to talk to our superintendant about the possibility of an option to getting a masters degree. Had an idea, or maybe someone gave it to me in my search (man, my memory is getting as bad as my Dads!) that maybe I could take classes at a technical college or the like and get certified as a journeyman in some specific trade. He (the super) seemed intrigued by the idea of petitioning somehow to get the journeyman's certificate to count AS a Masters degree! I would still love to take additional education related classes- can always learn how to be a better teacher- but I think the experience and skills I would learn would be a WAY bigger benefit to my students than a degree in Educational Technology. We'll see how that pans out.
Now, if we could just GET RID OF THE STINKIN SNOW... Finally managed to get the new tires on the ST- just in time to have it sit in the garage and wait. Had beautiful weather 2 weeks ago, spring break last week was decent enough that I got all the trees pruned, the tiller on the tractor, and the garden spot rotovated. Then Sunday we wake up to 5" of the white gunk.
