I am so excited!!!! I found out that I get to go to Washington D.C. next month!!! I have been taking this math class and our teacher, who is also the assistant superintendent of our district, told us last class she had extra money for four people to go the NCTM math conference. There are about 35 people in our math class and when we asked where it was and she said D.C. I thought everyone would want to go. She told us to send an email to her and tell her why we wanted to go if we were interested. Well, two of my friends and I decided to try for it thinking that we probably wouldn't get picked since we are some of the younger teachers. As it turns out, we ALL got picked so I guess no one put in for it. I am sooo happy because it will be so fun to go on a trip to DC that I don't have to pay for! The best part is that I get to go with some friends. We will be going to math conferences and are required to help the district map the math curriculum with what we learn, but I think it is such a great opportunity!!! I am hoping to learn a lot and can't wait for a chance to go back east. We leave around April 21 and get back around the 24th I think. The details aren't set in stone, but hopefully I will have much more interesting things to post about in the next month!!
