Graduate School

Well, my little lovelies, I have finally started graduate school. Yes, I've been going for a semester, starting on my second. I know, you all must feel extremely downtrodden that I forgot about you. Have no fear! I remembered! Today starts a new day/year of posting! This first posting is going to include a pretty awesome presentation about the needs of Gifted Students. (see it here: https://voicethread.com/share/2694375/) Yep, that's right! I'm no longer doing Latin as my graduate degree! I'm now getting a Masters in K-12 Gifted & Talented education! A lot of drama went down over the summer regarding Latin, and I removed myself from said drama. I now have zeal and enthusiasm for learning about teaching little gifted kids. I still love Latin, don't get me wrong. The classics will always be my first love. In fact, I'm TAing the Greek and Roman Mythology class at the university! I love it! It is by far my favorite element from Classics, and I'm super excited to be able to help other students enjoy it as much as I do. This summer I will be teaching a summer program lesson on Hercules and Harry Potter, who's the real hero? We will be comparing and contrasting heroes like Harry Potter, Spiderman, Anne Frank, and Hercules and seeing what really makes up a hero. But as for now... here is a commercial I made for class last semester, and I will post more fun videos, I promise!
