Exciting News

Just found out last week that I have been awarded a full scholarship for my Masters Degree from Boys Town. It will not be a Masters in Education it's a Master of Science in Youth and Family Services. It's quite a gift and quite an honor to be awarded. My new classes begin March 15th, about a week after this class ends. Just enough time to breathe. This means that I will still have to take 3 more hours to renew my certificate. Bellevue University is not a teacher accredited university (they don't have a teacher ed. program) so the classes I will be taking there will not count towards my certificate.

Enjoying the extra time!

As we are beginning week 5 I am glad that I have my curriculum unit done. It is allowing me extra time to devote to my job and kids. I am going to use the lesson on cyber bullying with my Boys Town boys. We'll see what their thoughts are.

Too bad I don't have my own classroom right now.

I am learning so much in this class. I just completed my curriculum unit and I am very excited about what I learned. If I was teaching right now I would have so many great things that I could incorporate into my lessons. I am very glad that I have taken this class and worked through these projects. I am amazed at all the great tools available for the classroom on the internet.
