Greetings from Denver!

Hello my fellow SLIM Sistas! I am alive! And kicking, I might add! I finally got my email issues and password issues dealt with today. I think I have been on the computer since 9:00am. But, all is now well!

I wish I could say I miss being in school, but I definitely do not. I am however greatly missing all of you. Unfortunately, I got roped into taking an online/webcam course on technology at my new school, but thank god I do not have to do an internship class. I still have yet to see my Colorado Teaching License. It was supposedly sent to my Kansas address, but it has yet to show up here in Denver! Oh well, I have to add my Teacher-Librarian endorsement to it anyway after I take yet another standardized test so I am qualified. HA HA!

I had a great time catching up on all of the old posts. I am glad to hear that you are all doing well. I am busy but loving our new life in Denver. I love my new job although it has definitely been stressful and challenging at times. I am working with my third library schedule since my first two were not working out at all. I will now see K-5 (10 classes) in a fixed schedule once a week. However, the Middle School will now be on a flexible schedule. A fixed schedule for Middle School was NOT working. So, wish me luck as I start my new schedule next week!

My new school has a wonderful and supportive staff. We have students that are first or second generation from 55 countries around the world which creates a pretty amazing environment. However, I cannot pronounce half of their names which has made some students cry and others get quite mad at me. (Sara--You are not alone with making students cry!) The teachers are really want a collaborative librarian. The trick is getting it to work with my schedule and their curriculum. However, I am not complaining. The job is going well!

Enough of me blabbing on! I hope you are all doing well! Miss you guys! When are you coming to visit me in Denver? ROAD TRIP!
