Over Easter weekend my principal called to inform me that I had been chosen to be one of 50 finalists in the state in the "Teacher Who Does It Better" Contest. She had submitted the names of 5 teachers from our school, as did all other principals and, somehow, I was selected to be entered in the finals. It was really exciting and the most rewarding part was getting to read what my boss had written about me. It felt good to be recognized and even better to have a chance of winning cash for my classroom and even a chance at a car! (Well, a free 2-year lease) All of my students were very excited to vote for me, but the process was a bit complicated. Because the contest is sponsored by our local news channel, voters had to create an account which, although free, was more work than just the click of a mouse. I was really happy that some of my family members were able to vote, though. With only one vote allowed per registrant, it's sure to be a tight race. I'm not holding my breath, but it's exciting to be involved in something like this.
