Ms. Golden

I have a job! Well, almost. Technically I am still waiting to hear from the Human Resources department, but the assistant principal has offered me a job teaching math at Atascocita High School! Reasons why this rocks my world:

1. Yes, the school building is modeled after Monticello. Thank you for noticing.
   
2. Why, yes, the building was finished only last year.
   
3. All the classrooms have LCD projectors with little overhead cameras to project whatever worksheet you're working on at your desk.
4. Class sets of graphing calculators!
   
5. A math "Instructional Specialist" (basically what I would call department chair, but better) who is AWESOME and supportive and willing to be like a mentor for my first year (and after that).
   
6. A 23-minute door-to-door commute.
   
7. I'm going to have my own classes!
   
8. They have a Science/Math Olympiad team - how cute is that?
   

I am definitely going to be teaching a statistics class (I keep forgetting to ask if it's AP Stats), and probably some Algebra I or Geometry. Or Algebra II. They haven't made the schedule for next year yet, so it's still up in the air.

Yay! I am so excited! I begin my six weeks of intensive certification classes next week after I get back from a long Mother's Day weekend in Folsom.

So that's the major news for right now :)
