New Job

Well, I have to update you all on a new job opportunity that I am currently participating in. My top three jobs are as follows:

3. The Science guy gig-I got to do experiments all day (and get paid for it)
2. Long term sub position.
1. My own classroom.

Well, I am moving up the list. Last week was my last week as the science guy. I was offered by the principal of the school I was doing the science thing to take a second grade class for the remainder of the year. Yeah, it took all of 3 seconds to say make my decision, but I waited till I talked to Tracy to tell the pricipal.

I started Tuesday with the kids. They are a good group and the experience should be a good one, leading to my number one pick, I hope. But this is next best-same kids every day. I like that better.

That all said, I will have to cut down on my original 5 or 6 posts a week to what has been happening the last few weeks, 2 to 3 posts a week while I focus on making my classroom the best I can. Keep checking back and I will periodically email a reminder to check the site.

Thanks for reading,
Derrick

Hey Derrick. Say, after school look down the street to the south. If you see a white Dodge truck in the driveway, stop by and have a soda or java with this old man! After all, you and I share a taste for coffee that is prepared in a manner that resembles the La Brea Tar Pits.

Thanks all for your support and encouragement. We are happy about this opportunity and we pray that I don't end up saying or doing something dumb :-) that would cause problems.

Because I've never said or done anything that would be reason for regret. OK, that's a lie. But I don't want to do that. It's kind of like Paul I do what I don't want to and I don't do what I know I ought.
