WINNERS and a job!!

I was going to put the names in a hat and draw 1 out (couldn't figure out rafflecopter thing!), but then decided to give these resources to the 3 teachers that actually mentioned my giveaway on their blogs...so thank you to:

Erica at Sprinkles to Kindergarten

Patti at Primary Pizzazz

Janine at Faithful in First

I will email you the resources!

I have been MIA this past week with friends visiting from overseas, and can I just ask.....have you ever cooked for vegan guests? That is not easy!

Anyway, it was great to see them and we had a lovely time. We will see them in September for their true Scottish wedding with kilts and all!

 

 Click here for black bean and sweet potato wrap recipe

 Here for healthiest and tastiest granola I've ever had!

 Here for my favorite oatmeal-pumpkin cookies (I half the sugar, add ground flaxseed, add walnuts and dried cranberries, and use butternut squash instead of tinned pumpkin...and it's not truly 'vegan' since there's an egg)

 Here for the saucy chickpeas with spinach

Next, I GOT A JOB!! 

Well, it's a maternity cover for two-thirds of the year (Sept-April), but I'll take it! You have to apply and interview for long term sub jobs here (very different from back home in the States).......which was a full-on interview! I had to prepare a very specific lesson, teach it to a class of students I'd never met before while I was observed, and then go to an interview afterwards with the principal and members of the board.

The job is at a small independent school, and my role is 'Key Stage 2 English Teacher'. I will be teaching Literacy, Geography, and History to Year 5 and 6 (fourth and fifth grade....there is only 1 class in each grade level). I will not be teaching math. I will not be teaching science. I will not be teaching P.E, music, foreign language, etc because they have specialists for all that!!! I'm so excited to focus on literacy in the upper grades. I have been wanting to expand my career into uppergrade and am so happy I have the chance at this amazing school! 

Everyone is really nice there and last week I observed a lesson and it was SUPER quality teaching! And the class size was 14??!!

I'm off to bed.....hope you're enjoying your summer!
