Exciting News!

I got a letter in the mail today letting me know that I was chosen to be one of two finalists for the PAEMST Science Award!

This is an award that I was nominated for and then had to apply. The application process involved a 45-minute video of a lesson I taught, a 15-page paper about the lesson recorded, three letters of recommendation, and a resume. I submitted my application at the end of April of this year.

My application, along with the other finalist's, were sent to be judged nationally. Seeing as they just announced last year's winners in June of this year, I may have a bit of time to wait before I get more news.

In the letter, I learned that I will be honored at a banquet some time this next school year and also recognized at the annual state science meeting...I guess I better find a date for the banquet, I just don't know when it is just yet.

what are the chances that there was only ONE math applicant chosen and that that one person and you two make up the three for the state?
