Hurrah! As of Monday I've committed to a school.
The school is tucked away in the heart of the Mission Dolores neighborhood (very near where I used to live). I got such an amazing feeling the moment I walked on campus.
Some key things that sold me:
- Constructivist outlook on education
- Classrooms with big windows
- Everyone saying hello in the hallways by name
- "I hate horses" is one of the worst things you can say.
- Chicken and sheep
I had an amazing talk with one of the teachers who I hope to work with sometime in the next two years. She really embodied a lot of what I hope to incorporate in my own teaching.
So! I know where I'll be, which is very exciting. I know the summer will fly by faster than I actually want, but August just doesn't seem close enough.

you're going to be teaching chicken AND sheep?! Wow... talk about your multicultural classroom.
Congrats sis! They're lucky to have you--despite your deep-seated hatred of horses.
