I just wanted to briefly let everyone know that I am doing great back in Tulsa! I have started working at Claremont Elementary as half of the speech therapy team... my partner in crime (or the rest of Trouble as we have become known) is a recent grad from TU. She is totally awesome! We have the BEST principal in the whole wide world in our building! She is so upbeat, easy going, approachable, and fun! We can ask her anything and if it is a request she gets right on it and let's us know what is going to happen regarding said request. So far I have 49 children that I am going to be serving and from those 49 there are a few (probably about 10) that will be dismissed soon...
I miss my babies in Ft Worth, but the stress level here is NOTHING!!! It is nice to leave work at the end of the day witha smile on my face, and that smile isn't because I am leaving!
I will post pictures of my apartment as soon as I take them! I haven't gotten around to that...

Moving, Work, Unpacking... OH MY!
Well I have diligently been working on getting some of the clutter out of my apartment every night when I get home from work, but so far I haven't noticed much of a change!
I think that I am going to enjoy my job in Claremore, once I get over these new terms such as RED meetings and MEETS meetings and CARGs and whatever else terms Oklahoma uses that are so foreign to me! I am starting to make some friends in Claremore and even some new friends in Tulsa! The girl that I am going to work with (there are 2 SLPs in our building) is completely crazy and awesome! She cracks me up all the time!
We have been going through materials in our classroom... what treasures we have found! I found a 1948 copyrighted version of on eof the DICK & JANE books on our shelves!!! Not to mention the Speech-Language textbooks that were left behind that are all copyrighted between 1937 - 1952... think those have the most up-to-date techniques in them??? We are trying to figure out what to do with these old textbooks... one thought has been to go on the Antiques Roadshow to see if they are worth anything!!! We have repainted our classroom, and moved everything BACK into our room and sorted through stuff once... with intentions to purge more really old materials in the near future.
Other fun stuff in my life includes receiving a letter from the State Dept of Education notifying me that they did not have my test scores from the National test that I took before I graduated... According to everyone I have spoken with, it appears that my scores were never sent out to the locations that I designated on the form when I took the test back in 2004! So now I am frantically trying to find MY copy of the test scores so that I can fax them to the state to get my temp license before school starts on Thursday! The problem is that I can't find my current state (Tx) and National (ASHA) license cards, or my folder that has all my credential stuff in it from college! I think they were left in Texas, or at least it appears that way to me still!
Pictures of my apartment are still to come... haven't made it that far yet in the process of sharing with everyone!
