Well on May 24th the the last day of school for the students but five more days for the teachers. It is a very sad day for me this year though, two of the most amazing teachers and I am proud to call my good friends are leaving the school system of Moss Point. Amber is going to St Martin High and Tara is going to Texas to start a new life for herself. I am very selfish and do not want them to leave. I have to admit that I cried so hard on the last day for the teachers. It will not be same in the science department next year.
I recently found out that I will be teaching biology 1 and honors biology next year. I am thrilled, excited, but nervous at the same time. I have some HUGE shoes to fill after Tara and Amber. But the principal told me that he trust me to teach this now that I am a 3rd year teacher. Remember I have only taught Pre-Biology the past two years. HUGE responsibility on my hands now!!!!! Tara and Amber said that it is my time and I can not hide in the background anymore. It is my turn to shine, so we will see. I am hoping and praying that my two weeks in Costa Rica will help me become more prepared to teach Biology. I will be seeing things that you can only read in the biology book and nothing will replace this opportunity. Evolution and ecology are huge in biology now.
Because I can not take the school issued laptop and an tablet will not work down there, Scott got me a new laptop, the cutest little laptop which I LOVE and it has Windows 8. If nothing else this trip gives me a good excuse for buying a new computer and next on my list is a new camera. We will be working on our presentations while we are at the teaching facility.
