I added a picture on the Dashboard with the help of my 25 year old son. Thank goodness he stopped home and could help me. The picture is of me, my younger son on his high school graduation day, and my husband. Too bad we didn't have my older son in the picture too.
I also am including some of the info that Prof. Schmidt asked for:
* I am enrolled in the Masters in Teaching program. I need to buy back my alternate route credits and take another 9 credits after this class. My goal is to finish in Spring 2012.
* I received a Bachelors degree in Mathematics many, many years ago at a small Catholic college in Center Valley, PA, which was called Allentown College of St. Francis de Sales (when I went there). I was their first female math graduate. The school is now De Sales University.
* I am currently teaching 6th grade Math and Problem Solving at Sayreville Middle School. I have been there a little over 3 years and usually enjoy my job very much. Before that I substituted in Sayreville for 6 or 7 years.
* I have never taken an online course before.
I'm looking forward to interacting with all of you in the class!

Yeah Eileen! Great first blog post. I like how you added a picture to your profile instead of where I added mine. I'll have to try that next. What I like about teaching is learning too. I always learn something from my students. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen.
ReplyDeleteThere is such thing as not enough taxes for schools. Englewood Cliffs has an older population and the school budgets are always voted down. At some point more is better but where is that point. If it weren't for the PTA, Englewood Cliffs would not have some of its bells and whistles, like the smart boards. We also have a foundation in place which contributes. Thank God for our devoted parents that fill in the gaps.
