Thread: An Introduction

Just thought I would jump in and introduce myself. I'm glad to see a teacher message board that has some activity and look forward to participating here.

I'm Monica and I teach in a small rural school in Alberta, Canada. My teaching load for 2005-06 includes an integrated, multi-grade Mathematics and Science 7-8 class, a Religion-Advisory class for grade 7s, all grade 10-12 mathematics courses that are offered at our school, a course that is a mixture of Information Processing (computer), Career Transitions and Career and Life Management and then we do a quarter exploratory program in which I will be sharing my passions about Life Learning Choices (careers), Scrapbooking, FLASH Animation and Basic Woodworking. It seems like a load from hell when written this way but it is a great job with a lot of great courses and mostly small classes.

I have been teaching for 13 years at two different schools. I've been at my present school for 7 years. In my spare time, I coach Senior Girls Basketball (although this year I'm pretty sure I'm going to shift down to Junior Girls) and parent my son, who is a really great kid and attends the same school that I teach at - he is 6.5 and in a K-1 transition program.

I think that is long enough. I'm hoping that I have figured out how to make my signature work!
