The weeks events

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who reads this blog...but that's OK.
Tuesday I found out I have been accepted into Western Kentucky University's graduate program. I will begin working on my Gifted and Talented Endorsement in August. Its 3 classes and a practicum so not to bad. It do get to spend 2 weeks in Bowling Green next June...Jason said he and the kids would go with me, not sure what you do in Bowling Green for 2 weeks...we will see what happens come next spring.

I am busy typing lesson plans and getting ready for summer school. Our principal wants all our lesson plans by the first day. I don't work well that way, I like to go a week at a time. I figure I'll turn them in, and then change them as needed once I get in the classroom and realize that what I planned wasn't anything that the kids needed to work on. They are pretty general and vague and I hope they pass inspection. We will find out in 11 days I guess.

I have had a couple of job interviews this past week or so. One from the 25th I still haven't heard back from, but it was just a preliminary interview and I was told I wouldn't hear anything til after the 4th. I had another one on Tuesday and on Wednesday I was offered a job as a Kindergarten teacher at Recluse Elementary. Yes, I took the job. Its a part time position so I will work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. My principal told me that I will have 5 students this year. They only do Kindergarten 3 days a week, so I have my own classroom and won't be team teaching. The other two days I can stay home, catch up on planning and all the lovely classes that come with being a first year teacher. I will have a 35 mile drive every day...so Jason is busy scanning the car lot for a car that gets better gas mileage than the Explorer. We will still keep it and trade in the truck just cause it is Wyoming and it does have a tendency to snow once and a while.

Josh had a good birthday. We went to the Great Wall for dinner...I was surprised at his pick...but both kids love the noodles and I was grateful not to have to eat a Big Mac. When we got done we went to K-mart and found a drum kit for the PlayStation on clearance. Josh and Jason play together every night...Josh on the guitar, Jason on the drums. Jason doesn't like the guitar from guitar hero so much...guess its cause its not one of his hanging in the basement and doesn't play real music. But they are both happy so it was $17 well spent!

Ashley just finished Summer Enrichment. She had a great time and had to show off some of her skills from her Camp out Cooking class when we went camping last weekend. Josh goes to his session the 13th.

Jason is busy at work....although I don't think he is too busy today since he just called to ask me to "Name that Tune". You just never know over there.

Well that's us!
