What about me

So I have shared photos about everyone else but me.  I guess I could take a picture of myself in the car or in my classroom.  I decided to try teaching summer school this summer.  You might say why??  Well, it gets me out of the house,  I love the kids, and yes- maybe I can work on paying off those student loans.

I spend Tuesday and Thursday mornings with a group of 10 amazing kids with a wide variety of special needs.  I co-teach with  my friend Lyndsey and we have the help of 2 paraprofessionals.   Yep- 4 adults 10 kids and we are busy nonstop.   I also am meeting with some families who have children being assessed to see if the children qualify for any special services.  The first couple of weeks of summer I let work consume me.  I have now caught on to scheduling and am planning to enjoy some time and work and some time at fun!!

I also mentioned the car-Dave and kids are home together in the morning while I work but when I return you can guess that the kids want to do activities.  This is where I become the taxi cab:  swimming and the library are the two most popular places.  The great thing is I love these places too.  I have read 1 book already, a tan is starting, and I have swam with the kids. 

All in all summer is a great time for us!
