Whew! Fall is here!

Greetings everyone! I hope everyone is doing well! Being an Ohio native, I am so excited that the colder, crisper weather is starting to creep in! With Fall comes a lot of excitement in the Teacher Recruitment office. We have been sending out mailings every week and talking with prospective students at Open Houses and on the road! Next week is a busy week for all of us as we a jam packed week full of WNC Community College Fairs! All of us representatives will be making trips to talk with students about UNCA's Education program. What a great time to travel around and see all the leaves change!



I am pretty busy myself. As most of you know I am in my professional year at UNCA. Basically this means that I am finishing up my methods course work and will student teach starting in January. I have already begun to work with my 7th graders once per week and they are teaching me great things everyday! I love that UNCA's Education program offers field experience opportunities in every class including the introduction course, EDUC 310. It is because of my early field experiences that I am well equipped on how to handle myself and work with my cooperating teacher in my professional year placement.

Anyhow, something you should know about me, is that I am a big animal lover. I live down in Flat Rock with my mom and we share our home with 9 animals...10 if you count our beta fish. Every week I will try to introduce you to one of our critters. I'll start off with one of our four dogs, Josh. Josh is a Bernese Mountain dog that we rescued from a shelter where he was taken after he was dumped on the side of a road. He has the most energy of our four dogs and is very excited about the cold weather.




Have a great week everyone!
