February Fun

February has been a busy month, but it has brought some exciting news. Since Devin has started school we only get about an hour with each other each day during the week. He has school during the day and works at night and I work during the day, so we just have conflicting schedules. Since Valentine's Day fell on a Thursday we had little time to celebrate our first Valentine's Day as a married couple together. I wanted the day to be a little special even though we could not do much together that day, so I got up early and made heart shaped pancakes. I also gave Devin a card that he read at school.

Don't worry Devin did not forget about me. When I got home from substitute teaching, Devin told me there was a surprise for me. I did not see anything when I walked in the door so I was confused, but there was something in the bedroom. I always tell Devin I want a big fluffy dog, so that is what he got me. Okay, it was not a real dog, but he was still really cute.


February also brought me the opportunity to have a job interview for a Social Studies position at a new charter school that will open next fall. I was so excited because the charter school will be project based and I feel that this type of curriculum really aligns with my educational philosophy. After two and a half weeks of waiting for a reply I finally heard back. They had a few more questions for me and after answering their questions, I was offered the job. I am so excited to say that I will be a Social Studies teacher starting next fall. I will most likely have several grades, but I will do my best to provide them with the best education.
