New Job!

When Jason and I decided to build a house in Atascocita, I knew that it would be a long commute to the school where I currently teach 4th grade. I absolutely LOVE my school so I decided to apply to Humble ISD with the stipulation that I would only accept a job if it was a specialist position. I received my Master's Degree in Language Literacy Education and I have always wanted to be a Reading Specialist however, I knew I had to put in the time as a classroom teacher before I could take the next step into a specialist-type position. After a long and stressful interview process, I was blessed enough to be offered two specialist positions at different schools. Both of the jobs sounded wonderful, but I finally decided to take a position at Fall Creek Elementary, which is a newer elementary school about 10-15 minutes away from our new house. I will be the Reading Specialist for the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade levels and my job will entail working with teachers on their literacy programs and working with at-risk students. I have heard great things about the principal at my new campus and a lot of the faculty members are younger, so I am hoping to make a lot of new friends! Although I am sad to leave the wonderful friends and families from the school that I have worked at for the past five years, I am excited (and nervous!) for this new challenge!
