Introductions

Hello, my name is Tracey Moulaison and I have created this blog for my class "Exploring the Internet." I am working diligently towards a degree in Math and Education, with high hopes of becoming a middle or high school math teacher. "But WHY???" you cry in fear and desperation. "Math is awful, boring and painful. Add that to middle school drama and you are OUT of YOUR MIND!!!"  Yes, I know. I have heard this rant from friends, family, strangers on a bus...My response to all is this: I have had such great experiences working with kids from elementary to high school, that I know I have found what I am meant to do.

In the meantime, I am working at a textbook publishing firm. I spend my days working out problems, checking solutions and crafting guided solution processes for middle school math texts. The work is satisfying and, dare I say it, fun. I didn't think I would like it as much as I do. You see, this has been an extreme change for me, as I came from a long term substitute position at a middle school. I was used to a lot of movement and noise in my day. Coming to the quiet (so very quiet) world of publishing was a bit of a shocker. If it was quiet at the middle school, I got suspicious! But, I am getting used to it.

I am also mom to 2 bright and beautiful girls, wife to one sweet and generous man, and caretaker of far too many furry and finned beings.
