Teaching

I haven't had much of a chance to do much blogging lately. I have taken a long term subbing job at one of the elementary schools. It is in special ed. Talk about being out of my comfort zone!! Somedays I find it mentally exhausting, and very hard to know what to do. I have always been the classroom teacher that didn't have to modify and teach these students. What an opportunity to see the flipside. I am growing to love these guys that I work with. Somedays are better than others, but it has been a challenge. It is very hard juggling Dallin at a sitter's, getting the kids to the bus, having someone pick up Ethan from the kindergarten bus, and then be home in time to meet the other kids from the bus. But, I think it is a good opportunity and also I feel like I am contributing to the complete the house fund!!

First snow????

Saturday, September 1st, brought cold rain, and then snow!! We were out wearing shorts, when the rain came, we went inside. Then the kids begged to go play in the snow, so they put all their snow clothes on. They got soaked and snowy, then the next day it was normal again. Crazy!! The weather has been great! Cool and crisp, but still warm by the afternoon.

Catching up

School has started here. It started August 27th. I couldn't be happier with the kids' teachers. They are what each one needs and I look forward to a great year. Ethan's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Johnson =), Jeffrey's 2nd grade teacher is Mr. Hathaway. Mr. Hathaway was our bishop when we moved into the ward. He does really well with boys and Jeffrey always talks about the fun things they did in class to learn things. Halee's 3rd grade teacher is Mrs. Jensen. Again, a great lady with a great personality and all three are very caring and good teachers. How awesome it is that the teachers at school are also at church! Very unique.
