Cross-Country Move

In previous posts, I've explained that I am so eager to begin my teaching career that I applied for positions out West. Well... I gladly joined two school boards in Alberta as a substitute teacher! A few weeks ago, I packed my car and drove 32 hours across the country! I have arrived in beautiful, sunny Medicine Hat.

MY FIRST CALL - On the first official day of school, I anxiously answered my phone and gladly accepted a substitute job for the morning. Was the regular classroom teacher sick? Or running late? Or on vacation? Who was to say.. all I knew was that I was absolutely thrilled to help out and take on grade 9 Social Studies! I knew instantly my journey was worth it as I feel my passion for teaching in full force already.

Here is to the 2013/2014 school year being full of exciting days like that, and more experiences in the classroom!
