On a whim I did a search for the Reynold's school district again tonight, and I couldn't believe it. My ( Read more... ) -

I began the final term of my student teaching this week. For those of you who don't know, I am planning to be a middle school science teacher. I have been assigned to an eight grade classroom, and have about 150 students each day now. For the most part, they are all pretty great kids ( Read more... )
