Happy Holidays!

Wow, I can’t believe how much time has passed since my last post. My first year of teaching is going great. I am been extremely busy working with the students and handling all of the other responsibilities that come with teaching. The staff and faculty at my school are so supportive of me and my students. Some of the fun activities that we have done so far this year include learning math concepts by tracking a college football team. Also, we go on community skills outings once a week and have gone to places such as bowling and the grocery store. My students are also in charge of the recycling program at school. They take great pride in their jobs. At home, my family is doing well. We have a new addition, my brother and sister-in-law adopted a dog, Finley. He loves visiting Athens. My family has spent most of our weekends tailgating for UGA football games. We loved inviting family and old friends to come and enjoy an afternoon “between the hedges.” Currently, I am busy getting ready for Christmas. I will finish school on Friday and get two weeks off. We plan on spending some time in Charlotte to celebrate Christmas with my extended family. I am excited to have brother and sister-in-law with us this Christmas. I hope that everyone enjoys their time with family and friends this holiday season.
