This is my first post in over a month if you’re keeping score at home…. I guess that’s what happens when I get “promoted” and don’t have as much time to use the school computers. I am currently filling in for a teacher that is on maternity leave. I’m teaching the art classes at one elementary school and half of the P.E. classes at the other. This is my third adventure in elementary art plus all the work I had to put in for my degree so I feel like I’ve got a pretty good idea what I’m doing this time. Everything is going pretty well. But then there is gym class. The only training I’ve had for this is a little coaching and my own experience as a student in P.E.  Though I’m probably not the P.E. teacher of the year I’m having a good time. I even get to jump into a dodgeball game once in a while.Â
I also helped coach the girls 4th grade basketball team this year. I had a lot of fun and I think I learned as much about basketball as some of the 4th grade girls. (I’m more of a football, baseball and track guy…) Of course the finale was the annual 4th Grade Girls vs. the LE Staff game. It was a lot of fun and the staff pulled out another victory. As I’m typing this I’m trying to test my new site. It’s not even close to done but I think I’m going to put up what I have so I can make sure it works….
