Hello all! I apologize for my lack of posts this past month. It seems as if life takes turns when we least expect!
In December I finished my student teaching and received my Pennsylvania Elementary Education Certificate. I packed up and moved home with my parents for a few weeks... with just enough time to enjoy the holidays. Then, when I was just beginning to enjoy my unemployment status :) I was offered a job at Sheridan Elementary in Allentown as a Title I Reading Support Teacher. I had done my student teaching at Sheridan, and I really cannot say enough about the staff and students, so I decided to take the job and make a move to the Lehigh Valley into my first apartment!
Needless to say, it has been an exciting few months. I have been busy making the adjustment into my first apartment as well as working full time with extremely energetic third, fourth, and fifth graders. I am not complaining, however. I really am enjoying myself!
Although busy, I have not neglected my platform work! After school two days a week I am still able to work with the Boys and Girls Club Make Your MARK program where I am able to tutor students in reading and math and provide a fun incentive program that allows them to practice their own money management skills. Many of the students in the program I also teach during the day....so they get a double dose of Miss Sparrow:)...whether they like it or not! haha
Of course, I did make time to watch and cheer for our Miss PA, Rachel Brooks, on January 26 as she competed for Miss America!!! She represented Pennsylvania well and even took home a non-finalist talent award. Congratulations, Rachel!!! PA is lucky to have you back:)
This weekend my mom and I will make the trip to Pittsburgh for the Miss Armstrong County Pageant. I hope to see many of my pageant friends there and promise new pics from the weekend!:) Stay tuned....
