Unfortunately I only write like once a year

So sorry for my few followers that I never write a blog but life is crazy and I just don't think about it! In the past year my little Al has gained such a wonderful little personality.  He is just the cutest little ham you have ever  seen.  He stays in "trouble" at school.  I use the term trouble lightly because he not really any trouble he is just 3.

My sister Jennifer gave birth to a beautiful 5lb baby girl this December, Nora Shaw.  I just could not get enough of her at Christmas!

Right now I am currently finishing up my last week of my first long term sub job.  My friend has been out on maternity leave and I have had the honor of taking over her Pre-cal and Algebra 2 classes for the last 6 weeks.  It has been a really amazing learning experience to help prepare me for my own classroom.  Next week I am due to start teaching Chemistry and Physical Science for a teacher who left back in November.  The hardest part with this class will be getting them back on task from not having a teacher for an extended period of time.  I am grateful to have had a sub this past few weeks who has taken her time to help get them back under control and ready to learn again.  She has been a big help to me.

I hope the rest of the school year goes well for all and look forward to gearing up for more interviews this summer.
