Hello, blogosphere! My name is Katie. I'm a 24 year old pre-service Science teacher. Currently, I'm enrolled in a post-bac certification program, and will soon be certified to teach 8-12 life science in the state of Texas. I have only recently begun substitute teaching. I could go on and on about myself, but that's not what this blog is about.
The purpose of this blog is to brainstorm and share ideas on how to teach what can be a difficult and confusing subject to my future students (and others' students). I'm currently studying for my content area TExES test. I believe that, by creating lesson plans and devising games and activities for my students, I will learn the material even better myself.
I'm a busy gal. I work ~30 hours a week at Blockbuster as a Shift Leader (technically Assistant Manager without the pay or title). I substitute whenever called upon. Last semester I spent 2 days in and elementary resource class, half a day with 3rd and 4th grade music, and a day with a 1st grade class. 1st grade kind of traumatized me, and made me very firm in the stance that I only want to teach high school. This coming Monday, I've been asked to sub at the high school I graduated from, and I'm PSYCHED. I'm also taking 2 graduate-level classes which keep me busy reading and researching.
At any rate, I'll be attempting to post at least 1-2 nifty ideas/lesson plans a week. At that rate, I should be ready for my TExES by the time I finish this Spring Semester, or perhaps Summer I.
I look forward to comments/additions/substitutions/applications from anyone who stumbles upon this!
Peace and Love,
Kat
