Bunco

I have an couples Bunco group that gets together once a month to play the game. I love it- no thinking, just rolling the dice. We have a wonderful time and I look forward to it each month. And, we do contribute money so everyone has the opportunity to win! I did not tonight, but my husband did. Always good when we at least make our money back! If you have never played, it is simple. Get 12 people together, 3 sets of 3 dice, and three tables with 4 seats each. Follow the rules, although we have altered them some, and play three rounds. It is great fun and a great parents night out!

Downsizing and Budget Cuts

This is my first year back to teaching. And with Florida's budget crunch in educational, people without tenure are not guaranteed a job for the coming year.

That was the message I received today. My position as a gifted resource teacher for middle grades will not be allocated for the coming year. I am not at all worried- I know a job will be available, but I am disappointed. I am very good at my job! And to think they think they can do it without me makes me sad (I am the only person in our county in my position).

I am eagerly awaiting to see what jobs become available and what jobs I am interested in. I know I prefer middle school, but that may be a thing of the past. I have taught many things in many grades- and I am certified in exceptional student education and middle grades integrated (meaning I can teach anything in middle school or 9th grade). I am sure something will come up that is good. This was a great job for my first year back and I am thankful for the flexibility and the experience I have gotten!
