A New View




As many of you already know, I am moving to a new school next year. After three years of driving an hour to my current sixth grade job I began to apply for new jobs in the county that I ACTUALLY live in. I was lucky enough to get a 5th grade job at the brand new elementary school (Cub Run Elementary) that is being built in Rockingham County. It is very close to Jimmy's school (we hope) and only about 15 minutes from our current home. I got a chance to tour the building on Monday and I cannot wait to move in. All rooms will have Smart Boards! For those of you not in education, a smart board is a white board that has your computer screen displayed on it through a media projector. You then can touch the board and it acts like the mouse. It is the next wave of teaching. I have one now, but had to fight for two years to get one in my room. Those of you in teaching I am sure feel my pain. At any rate, I now have a vision of my new "school" home - although still a little dusty!
