    I am currently in my last term of the RDC/UofA Middle Years Program. Starting on February 13, 2017 I will be teaching in Brownfield School. Because of the long commute I was unable to complete the extended practicum which would have started in September. Thankfully, the staff and students at this school are few and I know everyone already! I was recently Santa Claus at their school Christmas Concert. I cannot wait to start teaching here in my Practicum!

    This marks the end of my educational degree, but it does not mark the end of my learning. I hope to start subbing this summer and teaching in September! Yahoo!
