On the Reservation

Jessica Shyu, now in her second year with Teach For America, is a special education teacher at an elementary and middle school on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. Once a journalism student from the Washington, D.C., area , she has since traded the Beltway for the sprawling mesas of the Southwest. In this blog, Jessica will chronicle the good, the bad, and the occasionally amusing of being a young teacher at an underresourced school in a rural community.

'Tis the season...

... to be frantically grading, going on last-minute field trips, cleaning up, throwing together paperwork, tearing the posters off the walls, and checking out. It's the last week of school. I'm also in the middle of packing for my move. With all of these end-of-year events, I have tons of memories, insights and nostalgic bits and pieces swirling around in my mind. But right now, at 5:33 p.m., Tuesday, I am busy packing. In 22 hours and 34 minutes from now, the movers will be here to haul most of my belongings to McAllen, Texas. As soon as the movers leave, I'll be posting another entry.
