i got a job!

i can finally officially talk about it! i have a job for next school year!

i will be teaching 6th grade math and coaching 7th grade girls volleyball and basketball.

AND i get to stay at my school- Clear Creek Intermediate!

i'm so excited that i will be at my school still. those kids give me purpose everyday and make going to work worth it. i know they're a tough group, but i'm looking forward to it.

i was really nervous about being the "new kid" on the 6th grade team. after one year, our school only had 2 teachers leave: one teacher had a baby this summer (this is the position i got) and another moved up to the high school level (it was filled in the district). its really rare to only have 2 openings and the teachers had created close bonds in their first year. however, i got a call this last week inviting me to lunch with the 6th grade team and it was so great. they were so welcoming and friendly and calmed a lot of my concerns about being the new one. it makes me really excited about august.
