Wow! I took a really long break from my blogging endeavors! I mean a whole semester's worth of blogs have been put on the back burner, but for a very good reason. During the months of December 2016-February 2017, my family and I packed up our household goods, vehicle, and our family dog and relocated from Schofield Barracks, Hawaii to Fort Polk, Louisiana. The change was not as dramatic as it could have been (initially we were supposed to go to Fort Drum or as I refer to it, the frozen arctic tundra). I love being in the North Country and was a bit sad that we would not be calling it our home yet, but the change in temperatures would have been difficult adjustment for my family and I.
Anyhow, after traveling 10 hours and reaching our final destination, I had a couple of days to settle us in at our temporary hotel lodgings before beginning my Spring semester courses. I was excited about the new school year and it what it had to teach me. Over the course of the next few blogs, I'm going to unpack and reflect on what I learned through the Spring semester. I have some time before my Summer semester classes start, well I should say I have a small chunk of time; I'm currently preparing to take my Content Area Specialty Exam and my Educating All Students Exam to obtain my initial New York state teacher certification. Fingers crossed all goes well!!
However, before all this begins I will show some pictures of my new surroundings and start jotting down my thoughts in a journal as to how I my work from the classes to flow. I learned a great deal from both classes and was able to really tighten and strengthen certain ideas regarding teaching inquiry skills and managing a school library. I feel more comfortable and confident in my abilities to take on the world of a school media specialist and all the trials, tribulations, and joys that come with it. Keep posted for more updates!
