So my attempt to try to blog a couple times a week after school started hasn't been so successful. We are going into our third week of school and this is the first time I have blogged.
Everyone keeps asking me, "how's school going?" Well its going. For the most part I love my classes. I have one that is truly challenging my goat right now but hopefully I can get them figured out soon. I absolutely love my early childhood class this year. Have some wonderful students in there excited to learn to work with kids. I love this!! So much better than last years class where I dreaded spending two class periods a day with them and couldn't wait for them to leave my room. I love my apparel classes too. They are so excited and can't wait to get started on projects! I love it!
I was introduced to a new student on Friday. She is on hospice care. She has cancer of the spine and has stopped chemo. Talk about breaking your heart. Her last wish was to get to come back to school, imagine that all she wants is to come to school. I can't even imagine what her parents are going through right now. She has such a sweet, sweet spirit. I will cry if I type anymore. All I can say is that I am truly blessed to have her in my classroom for whatever amount of time I get to spend with her. Make a wish gave her some really cool techno stuff the other day and she was teaching me how to use her Iphone on Friday. I'm in love with her already. I can't wait to see her come into my room.
My kids are adjusting well to school, two out of three are at least. Luke lovesssssss his class at the daycare and his teacher. He calls it his school and gets so excited in the mornings to go. I love it! Leah is liking 7th grade so far. She has one teacher and class that is kicking her tail end right now but she will get it down soon. She made the volleyball team for this year! We were ecstatic for her! She was disappointed on Thursday when she made the b team but out of 48 girls that tried out, only 24 made the two teams so I think that is pretty special. Paige is still trying to adjust to 3rd grade. She had to change schools this year and she doesn't adjust well to changes. She loves her teacher this year and has a really cool room!
Luke started soccer also. He lovessss that too! As long as he can run and kick the ball he is in hog heaven! Funny thing is his soccer coach was one of my old students and I kicked her out of my classroom twice. Its funny now. We had a good laugh about that after the second practice. She said well you get to know me now and see that I have grown up and I said well you get to know me too and not as a teacher. I think you will find I'm pretty cool :) (ha-ha)
So our schedule now is extremely full. Monday nights Leah will have volleyball games, Luke has soccer practice on Tues and Thurs and we have church on Wed nights. Luke will have soccer games on Saturday afternoons. Mike works Friday nights now also. And Sunday is church day. Our week is jam packed full. We have Saturday and Sunday nights at home. Crazy! But I know one day I will miss all of this action so I'm going to enjoy it fully right now while I can.....even if I'm exhausted!
Leah also moved into the youth group at church and she lovesssss it! They keep them pretty active with stuff all the while teaching them to follow their faith and love Jesus. Can't get much better than that!
Life is grand!
(Also the last two weekends I have seen two of my friends son's hurt. One was taken by careflight and the other one by ambulance to Dallas. I have had my lifetime fill of watching children have to be escorted off to a hospital!)
