After college, I started working in the agriculture industry.  My husband and I moved to a a ranch back in Colorado and I got my first job as a K-12 PE teacher.  Since then, I have taught HS business for  seven years, MS computers for two years, and have just made the change to 4th grade this year!]]> 2016-10-15 15:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rdiggs/cv3f6ojq95ag/wish/130919568 rdiggs https://padlet.com/rdiggs/cv3f6ojq95ag/wish/130919954 I was burnt out! I was ready to either throw in the towel, or try something new. So, when the position for a 4th grade teacher opened, I was excited to try it out. I will admit, the first 5 weeks have been tough! However, the kids are now in a routine, I am in a routine, and things are going much smoother! I still have a lot to learn, and am excited to see what this class has to offer!]]> 2016-10-15 15:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rdiggs/cv3f6ojq95ag/wish/130919954
