Well, not sure if anyone is still checking this blog but I am now working as a teacher-on-call with the North Vancouver school district. I worked my first day last week at Carson Graham Secondary in grades 8 and 10 Socials. It was great and I am super excited to be back in the highschools! I cannot wait to get a day teaching at Sutherland so I can see all the students and staff again. I hope that everyone's classes are going well and I hope to see everyone soon.
I had a crazy but exciting summer. I finished my classes at UBC at the beginning of August and then was married August 16, the hottest day of the summer! We had an amazing day with all our friends and family. We had a very relaxing honeymoon in Bora Bora and now all we have left of the wedding is our pictures and the very funny video footage of the day. Life is returning to normal as we get back to work. I hope to get lots of work in North Van and eventually a full time position. Also, I hope to return to coaching the soccer girls this spring. See you around....
My new name is Mrs. Roch! (pronounced Rock)... maybe I'll have to start a new blog to avoid confusion :-) Feel free to contact me at eroch@nvsd44.bc.ca

May 19, 2008
Well, I have been back at UBC now for two weeks and I am back into the swing of being a student again. It is quite a change and I really miss everybody at Sutherland. I had a great time and learned a lot during my practicum and I hope that I can come back there next year as a substitute and eventually as a teacher. I hope everyone is having a great May and doing well in their classes.
The Junior Girls soccer team did excellent in their season and made it to playoffs. However, they were defeated by Hansworth in a really close game in the first round.
Feel free to keep in touch with me through my email and I will pop in sometime this month to say hello when I have a chance. Thank you again for making my first teaching experience pleasant and memorable!
Take care,
Ms. Carlson
