Welcome Back!

So I have been back at for about a two weeks now and I'm pretty much 50/50 on how I feel about it.  This year is a whole new ball game for me with my job.  I'm now in middle school and I have three different ones.  I spend about a week at each middle school working with science teachers.  I'm happy that I'm back to doing science only, but I'm really struggling with learning this new curriculum and having multiple schools.  All schools are high needs so it's really hard finding a balance to help them all.  My schedule might have to be flexible at certain times to accomodate state requirements so we'll see how it goes.  This school year is going to be full of challenges, but hopefully I get things done.


This summer seemed to just fly right by even though we didn't really do anything exciting.  We did do our annual family mini-vacation to Orlando and stayed at a Disney resort, but other than that, it was pretty uneventuful.  I think the kids are bored with bubbles, the park and swimming until they pass out though and are ready to go back to school.  Kaitlyn will be in VPK and I'm super excited about everything she will learn to prepare her for Kindergarten next year.  (YIKES!)  Tyler will be in the two year old room until January and then he moves on to the three year old room with the best teacher in the world, Ms. Stephani.  Kaitlyn got to spend a lot of time with her, almost a full year, because Ms. Stephani just kept moving up with that particular group of kids.  She is an amazing teacher and has the patience of a Saint.  I have never seen her ever get frustrated with any kid the four years that Kaitlyn has been going there nor have I EVER heard her raise her voice or get snotty with the kids.  I can't wait until Tyler gets in to her class because she taught Kaitlyn so much.
