To-Do List...cross one off!

I've been meaning to update for over a week now, but it's been busy around here lately. Nicole and I ran our 5K two Saturdays ago and didn't do terrible. It wasn't a record breaking time or anything, but I did it and I was proud of just that fact. I'm enjoying running after school and haven't been crazy strict about the schedule of it all, but it's been a nice addition to my routine. Also, it's a nice time to set aside to talk with friends, which is a plus.

 

 I've been working with the kids at church the last few Sundays and I love it. Lisa asked me to be one of the Lead Teachers in the 3 year old class; it was nice for someone to ask me to do something because they felt like I would be good at it and they needed help. It's nice to be needed sometimes. We had a MOUSE run across the room this Sunday! EEK!!! Also, we took all the kids to the potty and one of the little boys didn't want to even try to go soooo we took them all back to the classroom and were singing to my 47 Beavers book (LOVE that I got to use that book with our story this week. I flipping love that book. Work it in whenever possible. Everyone reading should purchase immediately for your future children. The CD is super fun and the kids love it!) when there was an accident. Sigh. Not a big deal, just one more thing to add to the list that morning. All that to say, loving our church! Super blessed by the people, the messages, the servants' hearts that are evident in each person you encounter. I have never felt so loved and welcomed by people here than at Life Church. God's been good.

First Master's class is finished and I earned an A, which was a shock. I don't know that I can do this next class, but here it comes ready or not. All this to say....my master's hasn't been the eye opening-love of learning process I thought it was going to be...yet. 

Second year of teaching about to be crossed off. Wow. So many ideas for next year are floating through my head. The thing about teaching is that it's never something you're "good enough" at, in my opinion. There's still so much to be done for next year and this year isn't even over yet. 

My students did well on their End of Grade tests! Re-tests are tomorrow and I get my most favorite proctor for the test so I'm obviously super pumped!!! :) I hope my kids do their best. I'm nervous over their nonchalant attitudes in remediation this past weeks and keeping my fingers crossed.

Alright, past my bed time. I'll update again soon (hopefully!)
