Update on my life

I have only made one post on this blog, and that was two years ago. I was just about ready to start student teaching, and I wasn't sure what to name my blog. I still don't have a name, but a lot has happened since July 2014. I successfully finished student teaching, and it was a great experience. I finished up in December 2014. I then got a job as a paraprofessional at the end of January 2015. I stayed at that school until the end of the school year. I had planned of going back, because I didn't pass all of my licensing test before the next school year. At the last minute I got offered a job at the school of my choice as a Title 1 aide. My daughter also started Kindergarten that year at the same school.

It was a great year, because I got to work in the same classroom as my daughter, and it was something that most parents don't get to experience. No, I wasn't a classroom teacher, but I got to enjoy working in a school, and working in my daughters classroom. I passed the last two test that I needed to get my teaching license in January and February of 2016. I was so excited and ready for the future. In the spring I interviewed for a teaching job at the same school that I was working at. I didn't end up getting the teaching job, but I got a year contract to cover maternity leaves. I'm still really excited and nervous.


This has also been a pretty great summer. I worked at a program that is like a summer camp. What was so great about it was that I got to bring my kids with me. So I got to work with kids, but also be with my children. We had a lot of fun this summer. We did arts and crafts, went on field trips, played games, and so much more. The kids had a great time, my kids had a great time, and I had a great time.

These are just a few pictures of the fun we had this summer at my job. This Tuesday is the last day for me at this job, because I start training and meetings for the upcoming school year. This is a very exciting time for my family and I.
