I had a busy June. I took two weeks of Educational Technology classes, which just so happened to be enough to bump me up to the next step on the pay scale this year- yippee! Then I went on a one week vacation with my family to Hocking Hills. It was beautiful and I really enjoyed hiking at the state parks!
July has been a blur, filled with small outings and get-togethers with friends, and all of the doctor and dentist appointments I avoid during the school year. However, I recently realized I only have 4 weeks of summer left! I am teaching Biology again this year (this makes year 13 for me). I am also teaching a full year of Zoology this year; I taught it once before but only as a semester course. Anyways, I need to create a lot of new materials for it since we have zero books or resources to go along with it at school. I did apply for a grant, I will find out in August if I got it *crossing my fingers*. In the meantime, my summer fun has ended and work has started. I posted my new Cnidaria unit on TPT yesterday if there are any Biology or Zoology teachings wanting to check it out: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Miss-Abrams
I also posted two new projects on Donors Choose in hopes of getting some new lab materials for my students. If you can spare even a dollar, I would really appreciate any size donation (donations are tax-deductible too). http://www.donorschoose.org/MissAbrams
Well, that is all for now! I hope all of my teacher friends are having a great summer! See you in August!
