Amazing week!

It has been an amazing week! Although I only had three days of school, it went beautifully. My new 6th graders are adorable and so good! I ended up only getting 4 new 6th graders instead of the original 6 that were planned, but they are each so perfect I wish I could clone them all! My 7th graders and 8th graders were all here last year, but they have all grown 5 feet over summer, I swear. They all seemed to have grown up so much! and gotten so much more mature it's amazing. I am down to only 15 students, with a new one on Monday. It really is so beneficial the less students I have. They get so much more individual attention when there are less of them, and it so great. I have readers ranging from kindergarten reading level, to no reading, all the way to 8th grade levels. We are a wide range, but the kids are so helpful and nice to each other. I never want the kindness to end :) (pictures will come soon.. i promise)

In other news, Levi has registered for his first class! going back to school after such a long break is really hard, and I am so proud of him! I am excited for him to take this next step in his life, and he's going to do great!!

Once again

Once again it has been a while. I don't have pictures to show, just news to report. I am not sure if all of you have heard, but since April 6th, I have been teaching. I am basically a "long term sub" but I have my own classroom! Its been very over whelming, but I have learned so much! I have 17 students, from grades 6-8, and its a special day class. My kids are so much fun, and we are having a great time! The great news that I just received is that I actually got the job for next year! I applied for the position, and they've decided to hire me. So next year I will actually be a real teacher! It is very exciting. It was a perfect thing to happen right before summer, right before my birthday and right before I am done with school (one more class this wednesday and then I am completely done)

Levi is getting totally into photography, and he's learning a lot! Look forward to some beautiful pictures by him!

I am not sure what else is new. The pups are wonderful, and Levi installed a ceiling fan for the first time ever today! and it works great :)
