Okay, so blogging is something new to me. I suppose I should be up on it, since I am under 30, but sadly, I am not. That's all about to change. As a new teacher this year with Eagle County School District, I have been instructed to blog about my experiences as a rookie teacher. Not a bad idea... actually it's a great idea, but that doesn't mean I don't feel like I'm trying to find my way out of a crowded foreign city with limited directions. So, I'm diving in headfirst. I'm going to swim around a little with my goggles and flippers and try and figure out what there is to see in this sea of an education system. I'm excited; I've always been one to explore and I am especially fond of snorkeling.
So here's to the school year of 2009-2010. If anyone has any "species" of particular interest or has some advice on how to be a more productive snorkeler, I'm all ears. And let me just say, I wish everyone who's swimming in this sea with me an exciting first experience in the waters of teacher territory.

The best way to snorkel through this year is to make a few "dives" where you are the most interested in crafting your trade. I am so excited for you - you have such great students. Please let me know how I can support you, but I know you have a wonderful support system at your school too. Hope you had a wonderful first day.
