I am really excited about a recent opportunity I have been presented with!
Since graduating from college with a degree in K-12 health and physical education, I have always wanted to teach elementary physical education. This is where I have always pictured myself and for the past 4 years I have kept all of my elementary ideas tucked away for the day I finally landed my dream job.
In the mean time, I have taught high school health and P.E., periodically checking for elementary openings in the area. I have interviewed twice for positions in elementary schools, but unfortunately have had the "experience card" pulled on both occasions. Because of that, I realized my dream job wasn't going to be as easy to land as I had originally hoped....or was it?
In class last week, my principal knocked on my classroom door and asked to speak to me. She told me she had something I might be interested in. She let me now our school had hired a new baseball coach who happened to be a PE teacher at an elementary school in our district. Because he was coaching at our school, he was interested in teaching here too. She offered me the opportunity to swap him positions. I couldn't say yes fast enough!!
My mind has been full of fun ideas I will be able to incorporate with elementary jobs since that day and I can't wait for next school year to start!!
