Day 3 of Thanks

Today I am thankful for my wonderfully fabulous 19 hours per week job!  I work three days each week as a science content instructional coach.  I float between the two high schools and middle school I worked at, plus visit two additional middle schools.

I am no longer the bad guy to teachers or students, rather I get to be the idea generator, field trip planner, guest speaker coordinator, rubric writer, and shoulder to lean on!  I love helping teachers make their projects fabulous by doing the details pieces they don't have to time to deal with because they are in the classroom all day, grade papers at night, have parent meetings during their conference, and generally work until they drop!

Its also great to be back on the science side of things where I get to learn or review information everyday.  Yesterday I had the opportunity to hear a workshop on valence electrons and Lewis Dot Diagrams, then I went down the hall to learn about the magnitude and direction of vectors in physics.  Call me a dork, but I am one lucky girl!
