Getting Started

Well, I've officially started my fourth entry for my National Boards. The cool thing about this is I can do my entries in which ever order I choose, as they all get sent to San Antonio at the same time. Entry 4 is the easiest one to get started on over the summer. It is documentation (and reflection and analysis) of my professional accomplishments. Some has to be done this coming year, but I've started really working on what I can use from the last five years (going back to March of 2003). I also will know what I need to do this year to round out this entry. I have to have a good portion of it done by about a month from now when we have our first cadre meeting.

We got a bunch of stuff for this at Target last night. Printer paper, pens, highlighters, a pencil case, and dividers for the 3-ring notebook I had already purchased. Things are printed up, organized, and work has commenced.

got it!

i got my new cd today. i'm assuming that it is the correct one. actually, i'm checking right now to see if it is. (yep, it is!)

now all i (still) need is paper so i can print everything up so i can start marking things up. :-)

trying again

i called national boards today to see what they could tell me about my CD that is supposed to be here by now. they're going to send me another one and call me when it goes out so i can track it this time. i really hope i have it before school starts.

i got a 2" three-ring binder this weekend and i've downloaded the stuff i need from the national boards website. now all we need is paper so i can print up the stuff and get going on highlighting and marking. i have everything as an adobe file, but i would really rather have a hard copy in front of me. that's just what works best for me.
