The Start of a New Year
I am back from a wonderful week of camping with my family. The weather forecasters may have lied (ok, they didn’t lie, they just have no idea how to predict weather patterns farther the 4 hours ahead of time), but we still had fun. I will get pictures up in the next few days… I haven’t even downloaded them yet!
Today marked my first day back to school in a while! Yay! I just started the ARC program over at Seattle Pacific University (a few minute drive from my house). It is an intensive year long (plus a summer) program that ends in certification and a masters of arts in teaching. I will be interning at a middle school in the Bellevue school district for the year and I am really looking forward to working with their 8th grade physics curriculum!
Since I will be extremely busy over the next year, my blogging will definitely be lighter… although I did just start a new blog (shocking I know): Matt @ SPU which will chronicle my year as well as provide a place for me to put all my school stuff in one place. If you visit, don’t be alarmed by the streaming of conscious / note like feel of the posts… that’s exactly what they are.
So here’s to a new school year! Wish me luck!
I just wanted to say good luck, and we’re all counting on you.
the weather forcaster was off…that has to be the easiest job in the North West. Wet and rainy.. 30 minutes of sun to be seen in the morning and then wet again!!
(LOL)
cool beans! hope you won’t have to do homework during casey’s wedding.

Hi Matt,
Got your message about the Marzano paper. No problem! Thought I’d check out your blog, too. The ARC year is a big year, but worth it. Remember to breathe, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. You’ve got my email address. Later.
Hey Matt,
good luck to ya with your ARC program at SPU and have fun on your internship.
@ Kristin: you love to lay on the pressure, don’t you?
@ Carl: You would think it would be easy up here, yet they are wrong ALL the time!
@ Jae: Oh I am sure I will need to work during the wedding… but I’ll be there anyway!
@ Chad: Thanks for stopping by Chad! I am looking forward to the year and will make sure I take time to relax and enjoy it as well.
@ Eun: Thanks Eun, I think it will be a pretty exciting year and I am pretty stoked to get into the physics classes!
