Happy Thanksgiving

To everyone out there I hope that you have a very happy Thanksgiving spent with family and friends this year.

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I finally took my special education teaching certificaiton test this past Sunday. I found out on Monday that I passed the test. SO, now I am certifed to work with special education EC-12 and certified by the state. I just have to wait for the official score and then I can apply for my certificate. I think this is going to help me a lot to be classroom certified in EC-4 generalist and special education certified in EC-12. I would like to work in the elementary level and I will be going to teacher job fairs so, if you know of any in Dallas area or surrounding subburbs please let me know. I want to keep my options open and see where I am lead. So that is my new news for now.

Substitute Teaching

This last week I had the opportunity to substitute teach at a local private school. So far I have subbed at a couple of other schools last month. Last Friday, October 24th I got to sub for third grade and on Monday, October 27th I subbed at the same school. On Monday I was able to actually do soome teaching, with second grade. We got everything completed that we needed to except one assignment. I thought that was a great day to get through all of that. So the past couple of days have been good and I enjoyed working with kids and getting more experience.
This Friday is Halloween and I am very excited about it. Ben and I are going to go to a Halloween party and just hang out I think. I am housesitting at my parents house again this weekend. I housesat all last week when they were out of town. So I am excited about what is coming up this week.

Texas OU weekend

This past weekend was Texas OU weekend and was so much fun. There was a lot going on. On Friday I went to the Calyx Texas OU party which was black tie. I thought it was a great time and a lot of people were there. We stayed there until 1:15 and then called it a night. Saturday we went to a Texas OU watching party at a friends house and had a great time. Sunday we went to the Texas State Fair. We got there at 10:30 or so and spent most of the day there. We ate corny dogs, saw big Tex, went on the Texas Skyway which was so much fun. We also went on a rollar coaster and had a funnel cake. The park was still a bit croweded since the day before was the game but it was fun. We also went and saw all the animals at the fair. We watched part of a Cattle contest of some sort, saw goats, ducks, dogs, geese, turkeys, and roosters. Then we went back and just relazed the rest of the day.
So that was my amazing weekend. I am still subbing and looking for jobs. I have been studying to the special ed certification test and take it in a few weeks. I feel ready. Time will tell. Well, that is all for now.

Dallas World Aquarium

Last Saturday, Ben and I went to visit my brother in Fort worth. We had lunch with him and got to tour his house which was a lot of fun. We had intended to go to the Kimball Art Museum to see the Impressionists exhibit but there was another event going on and there was not any parking. So, we decided to drive back to Dallas. In the car I had an idea to go to the Dallas World Aquarium which was sooooo amazing. If you have not been there I defininantly recomend going. This place is the most amazing I have been to. I hope you enjoy some of my picutres I have poseted on here from the aquarium.
