A new one!

For the first time since I've been at the elementary school, I have a NEW student.  Not just moved from another school- new, but new-to-the-country-new!!  It may sound lame, but it is so exciting.  She is so sweet and is so excited to use the limited vocabulary she does have- working with her makes me smile every day.  <3  Great reminder of why I do what I do.  <3

Love my job.

I realized last week that I'm getting home later than I did last year.  I've really been putting in more time and effort at work (after hours, I mean)- because I'm loving it so much, and wanting to try so many things with my kids.  The school year is going really well so far.  The students have set goals for their English acquisition progress (based on their ACCESS test scores), and they are working towards them.  I'd done this with all grades but first- but I completed the goal setting activity with them today and they did so well!!  I wish everyone could love their job as much as I love mine.  <3

New Year

This has already been an "exciting" year.  :)  I got to move to a new "classroom" (actually the cozy, triangular shaped space backstage) and have changed my schedule from ALL inclusion (what I've done the last two years) to almost all resource - and I *LOVE* it.  :)  It has been a lot of change, and I'll admit that I was a bit stressed out during the transition, but after a week of following my new schedule, I have fallen in love with my job all over again.  :)  Pictures of my cute space to come soon!
