I finally got my elementary education teacher's license. The funny part is I was never hired for elementary teaching. I started off in 7th grade in a contained classroom so I taught all subjects including Ojibwe.

This year I started in 7th grade again, with a coteacher. My coteacher died a week after the kids came back this fall. This was just devastating as he was an awesome friend for over 30 years. We didn't even know we were working together at the same school til we found each other our first day back.

He was taking on high school science as well as 7th grade. When he died they started searching again for a science teacher with no luck. I was ill nearly a week in October and came back when my boss came to me and said she was switching me to High school science.

I have been horribly sick the last month so very little teaching happening due to laryngitis! But so far I am loving it, and actually considering going back to get my high school science degree
