Well, it has certainly been a long time since I updated here! After finishing the long-term position last January, one of my contacts at that school led me to another long-term position, also in 8th grade. I finished out the year there, and had an overall very positive experience.
Flash forward to August, when another long-term position in that district was posted. This one is for the entire year. I called the principal, met with her, and landed the job. Gainful employment is once again mine!
I will be teaching 9th and 10th grade English, and I’m *very* excited about this opportunity. I get to teach Shakespeare! To Kill a Mockingbird! A hip graphic novel!
I’ll be slowly but surely making some updates around here, and writing about some of my educational experiences. This is my first *full year* position in one place, and it’s overwhelming and exciting all at once!
Look for more updates soon. 
Congratulations!!! 9th/10th grade English eh?? What joy!!Shakespeare – great. I used these http://www.classicalcomics.com (and the free downloads too) and the class zipped through the plays. So hip graphic novels and Shakespeare combined. Haven’t found a graphic version of Mockingbird yet

Good luck….
