TEACHER!

I am officially a teacher! I teach forensic science (grades 9-12) and integrated science (9th grade). So far everything is going great, I think. Who knows what the students are saying behind my back?? I am fresh out of school so I'm still in the mind set of "do what it takes to make the students learn" and less of the "get through this year/survival mode" which I'm told is sure to come.
Hopefully I will get to create a class website soon. If anyone is interested, I will give a link and you can learn along with my students. Basic science, you may already know, but the forensics is actually really cool to learn about. I pretend to be an expert in class, but a lot of the case studies we are reading are new to me too.

The dogs are doing great together, by the way. Jackson has warmed up to Abby and Abby has grown about 5lbs since we got her a month ago. She may out grow Jackson soon..
Life is busy here; I leave for work at 6:45am, John travels 1-3 days a week, Juggling 2 crazy dogs. I do NOT see us having children any time soon. ;) Sorry mom.
We are loving it though. Our house is cozy and we are happy here.
Have a happy 3 day weekend this week! Celebrate Labor Day!

Freshman

I've heard that when a small child falls down and cries, a bandaid can help. Even if the child isn't bleeding- stick a bandaid on and all is well. Funny thing: I get asked about 10 times a day for a bandaid by high school freshman. It is usually the same kids sticking a finger in my face to show me that they are not bleeding and have no visible hangnails or papercuts. I, of course, am not a nurse and I don't keep bandaids, nor could I keep them if anyone found out I had a box. Also, in case you were wondering, the new cool way to hurt your friends is to flick them in the neck. Right on the Adam's apple if you can- if you have a rubber band, it's the best. Yes, I'm ready for Spring Break.
