Welcome to Middleton Musings!

I managed to enter the teacher workforce just in time for the economic downturn several years ago. I eventually took a position at a charter school in Tucson, Arizona, teaching fifth grade, which I dearly loved, but at a cost - leaving behind family and friends. So I returned to Oregon and substituting. Now I am working towards obtaining my Reading Endorsement through the READOregon Program, and have been hired to teach an afterschool Art Club, which is what I blog about here. I also volunteer to help with homework for another group of afterschoolers.

Happy Holidays, Art Clubbers!

The principal came in this week when I was working with my Homework Club (different group of kids, different day) and said that there would be no Art Club next week. Bummer! So my last planned project won't happen after all. Considering that next week also happens to be finals week in college, I'm not crying too hard.

The next series of Art Clubs won't start until close to the end of January, and with all of the Mondays off... it may a short series. I have all new ideas for projects, so when my promised smaller group of kids shows up, we will be ready to start up right away. Yay!

In the meantime, Happy Holiday wishes to everyone. Wishing you a safe, warm, and family-focused holiday season. And thanks, so very much, for your support. It is appreciated more than you will ever realize.

See you next year!
