Not only did I graduate with my Masters in Secondary Education with a teaching credential in April; I got a job! I only applied to one school, and that is the school where I did my student teaching. I love this school for three reasons: it has a diverse student body, faculty in the social studies department are amazing, and the administration is actively pursuing diversity and inclusion from the top down. I am so excited to teach!!!

Busting Through Bricks Like the Kool Aid Man
Today marks the last month of student teaching and let me just say that graduate school are not for mother’s with a husband and children. Matter of fact, school is for kids, not real adults.

Anyways, check out that title! I seriously considered walking out the class today. Pretty sure my kids gave me a legit headache and actually made my head spin so quick that I had to ask my CT for some on site pain reliever.
My Professor posted a discussion question entitled, Your journey & a jump out the window story. He describes a teacher actually jumping out of a second story window, dangling on the ledge, running to his car, burning rubber never to be seen or heard of again. I don’t blame the guy.

You just might see me busting through my oblong windowless classroom like the Kool-Aid man.
til January
It was my intention to blog my experiences as a grad student. If only life was that simple because since then my husband got a promotion, we have relocated to north Chicago, and just like that I’ve finished my courses and student teaching begins in January. During that time I’ve mostly blogged poems and book reviews, along with a few likes and new followers.
I don’t know what I’m going to do til January, but I’m thinking of posting a few high school history lesson plans based on Kanye rants. What do you think?
