=I Am Rita Martin=

Hello everyone... As a teacher who has just changed from a small school with small well behaved classes my first goal this year was to figure out how to transfer the ability that I have to teach to a new VERY different situation. I transferred from Red Lick where I started teaching 25 years ago to Texas Middle School. And...... I MADE IT!!! I've told people it was the hardest job I've ever done but I really did like it. My goal next year is to work with my science team to refine the work that we did this year to make our lessons even better. I also hope to be able to work together with a math, ELA, and Social Studies teacher to have a cross curricular STEM project. I am a true empty nester. My children are 21, 23 and 26 and they all live at least 5 hours away, Beaumont, Houston and Oklahoma City. My husband also works for TISD. He teaches World History and coaches girls basketball at Texas High. The picture I'm including is a picture of me and some flowers I got for Mothers Day. I love to get flowers at school.
