LOVE My New Job!

Y'all. I LOVE my new job! So far this week I have introduced myself to my class, taught a mini-lesson on the University's grammar module "MyCompLab", wrote the classes first quiz, created/imputed that quiz into their classes online learning system, checked off rosters for senior methods, wrote out an email and an announcement that was distributed to all the writing intensive classes, as well as had the chance to start a really good book entitled "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio.

I get to work with some incredible girls. We are all education majors, so essentially are all taking the same classes which means we are able to bounce ideas off of each other for projects and assignments. We are able to relate to each other. This is a way to be involved in the education world, but also have a break from the mundaneness of classes while being able to put our teacher skills into action. Once the semester gets rolling, I will be spending a lot of time working one-on-one with students to help them improve their writing skills. I couldn't be more excited for this opportunity!
