Episode 6: A Job

It's true. I am gainfully employed at Littleton Elementary School in Avondale, AZ as their K-8th grade General Music teacher. At the last minute, this music position turned up (orchestrated by God, of course), and since my science certification was still pretty iffy, this offer was great! I am very excited to have a job, and to be able to start right away. Right away, in other words, I was offered the job at 8am this morning, and jumped in my car to head to the school so I could jump into teacher in-service right away! School starts next Monday, so there's no time to waste!

After I started cleaning up and organizing my classroom, I realized I should take some "before" pictures of Room #82... so this is more "during" the clean-up process. All these pictures are a mirror image of the real thing. Photo Booth is weird like that, but you get the idea.

My classroom was a 4th grade classroom last year, so I was graciously gifted with mounds of 4th grade textbooks and supplies... hopefully someone comes to claim them soon!

Nice boom box included, and you can just barely see, to the left of the cart, a small black speck which is Cockroach #1 in the classroom! This little guy hardly counts though, he was already mostly dead before I got to him. Of course, as we all have learned from the Princess Bride, "mostly dead" is also partly alive.

Day #2 of being a teacher starts tomorrow bright and early, so more updates will have to come later! Thanks for all your prayers and support through this process! God surely has me in the palm of His hand.
