Erik and I both had phone interviews yesterday with a charter school in Pueblo, CO. They have 2 social studies positions open, and they have invited us both to come up and meet with them on Friday. However, part of this second round of interviews is to prepare a lesson and teach it to a class. Needless to say, we are quite nervous. Erik will be teaching a US History lesson to 11th graders, while I will be preparing a Civics lesson for 9th graders. I have been forewarned that my 9th grade class can be "difficult" in terms of behavior - nothing like throwing you into the fire, huh? The administration has dodged all of our questions as to what we should cover, what types of technology we will have access to etc., so we are truly on our own for this one. Wish us luck!!
Erik also got called for another interview with a really great school north of Denver. He will be interviewing with them on Thursday. He'll do great, as usual. :)
Last night at the cabin, we had our first real night-time visitors (that we know of)- a huge pack of elk congregated just off the porch, but were scared away when Erik went to take the dogs out. I missed the entire thing, but am looking forward to catching a glimpse of the pack the next time they come around.

A pack? A herd?
About 11 of them - they're huge beasts!
WOW!!! That must have been quite a sight! Corey would have grabbed a gun and provided you all with dinner for the next 2 years! :)
It would certainly be easy hunting up here - they pretty much just come and hang out in the yard! You and your guns are welcome anytime - looking forward to some elk steaks in the future! (My apologies to any vegetarians) :)
