With August comes a new start to the school year. I found out what my teaching schedule is today. The first semester I will be teaching 3 block classes of Math 1 (I teach the whole course in 1 semester). It will be a class primarily of freshman. I will see them everyday for 80 minutes to 115 minutes depending on the day. Most classes have around 30 students in them. That's a lot of freshman in one room for a long period of time!!! Hopefully I will adjust and all will go well. Then, second semester I will teach two Math 2 block classes. They both meet in the morning, which means I get done teaching for the day at 11 am.! That's going to be nice. I will definitely need the extra time for planning. I don't totally have my own room; I'm not sure anyone does. I will meet in the same room for all 3 classes the first semester. I meet in two different rooms second semester, but they are two doors down from one another. All the teachers have a desk in the teacher office where we can keep all of our stuff. So, as of August 20th, school will be in session.
I'm officially a Coloradoan. I have changed my plates and got a new license. I have mixed emotions losing my Texan identity off my car.
The rents were in town this week. We did a lot of exploring and just hung out. It's always good to see the "old folks." Some of our pictures are below:

So you teach 5 classes a year? Is that the norm? I think I am going to move up there next week! Send me your address, so I can mail you some Texas decals to put on your car windows. How is Levi adjusting? I miss you!
Wow! You're going to have an interesting year! I'll miss you!!!
Hi girl! I'm so glad you are blogging so we can keep in touch. We were in Colorado all last week. Wow, it really was beautiful! I can see why you would want to move there. The teaching schedule sounds really different up there. 30 freshman in one room for that long is a little crazy! I'm going to be teaching freshman this year too. They gave just about everyone at least one section of Alg 1... I'm going to have 4 preps, Alg 1, geometry, Alg 2, and math center... it's going to be a busy year! I'm glad to see you are doing well... keep posting! :)
