Thanks so much Pamster! I have to admit I am a bit nervous about it. I will be teaching 7 and 8th grade science (some to gifted kids) and one section of 7th grade math. The principal knows that the math is not my strength, but feels I will be very good with the higher level kids. I will have to take Praxis exams to get certified in science and another for the math AND, if I stay in the position, work towards a Masters to be certified in Gifted. But I have a number of years to accomplish those. If I move/transfer out of the position, which the principal acknowledges is the preference, then all that will change. But this is my foot in the door.

Nothing is official as yet, as the new principal has to talk with my current one or an old one or a reference by phone and as it's summer teachers are hard to reach and then she has to inform HR because this position just popped up. I am waiting for the phone call from HR and after that I will need to resign from my current position. I spoke with my current principal yesterday and his first words were "not you", so I take that to mean he is sorry to lose me.

Any way, enough about that. I see that you've gotten to purple on both the challenges, so congrats to you as well. I finished the Ship's Deck last Sunday per my self assigned goal. Now working to level up rooms. Hope you have a super day dearest.
