It was a super BUSY week last week.
Monday I worked from 7:20am to 6:15 pm
I hadn't had such a long day since I worked in SM.
I did stay for the PTA meeting (which I am glad are only 4 a year, so I was there until 8 pm)
But I have to say, I got so much done. We have a new IEP system, which luckily I already know. But the old goals had to be transfer to the new system for progress reports. I am happy to say that I am done!!
Tuesday was a FUN evening. Denise and I had a Paint Nite and it was so much fun.
Amazingly, I ended up loving my painting :)
It was at a brewery, thank goodness they had wine lol and they had a taco truck that severed Mediterranean food, so yummy.
It was a great night after a very long day the day before.
Wednesday - I actually left work 15 min earlier but sadly it wasn't to come home. I dropped off the boys and then headed to the County Office of Ed for a meeting, for the ECSE teacher I am mentoring this year. It was very informative. It reminded me of the stress of doing student teaching, I am glad I can be here for her and help her as much as possible.
Thursday was Latino night at work. I have to say that I am staying to all this even not because I work there but also because the boys go there. I am liking the fact that I can be involved as a teacher and a parent. The boys are loving school and their teacher. They are happy, we are happy, and I am not stressing out about school. What a difference a change of setting/placement really makes.
Friday I left work early but I did respic care for a former students. So nice to see him and be able to chat for a little with him mom.
They say that your first class, the first year you teach, is the one that you will remember the most. I do remember my first class, at LAUNCH, and honestly even if I do not remember all the kiddos names I remember them all. However I miss my kiddos from last year, a lot. I was reflecting about this one of the nights I couldn't sleep last week and I think it is because last year, I finally felt like I belonged, that this is where I am suppose to be. Don't get me wrong, I love my kiddos now, a lot. And I am sure I will feel like the same in year. Is amazing what parents and teacher can accomplish working together, what an amazing support system we can create and I think that is why I love where I am.
Saturday was low key. I saw my EI client, dropped off time sheets, had fish tacos (home made) for lunch, relaxed, and went out for dinner. Matthew and daddy when to watch the Sharks play (sadly the Sharks lost) while Zachary and I watched Hotel Transylvania at home.
Today we went to what Hotel Transylvania 2 - it was so good and cute. We had lunch at Pizza my Heart, yummmmm. Was able to take a nap - YEAH!!!
Such a relaxing weekend.
I am looking forward to a few week. Tomorrow I will go to another Piant Nite with Denise. I know it will be a blast and the food will be so good! Zachary and I will watch the Shark game. The rest of the week will be mellow. woohoo!!
Zach and I relaxing, last night.
Made chicken and waffles for dinner. It was so good. But I think I will wait a while to make it again.
Made some awesome dashboards today. I also made some paper ones to use in the monthly layout to write something about the month. Like a journal.
Starting October 1 I will start running in the morning again, so lucky to have a treadmill at home. I honestly feel like I gained so much weight even thought the scale says it was only 5 lbs, I feel like it was a zillion, so with the holidays approaching time to get in shape. I know the first two weeks will be the hardest, but I think that with some great iPad shows and motivation I will will able to stick to it. wish me luck!!! I will give you all an update next week!!
Have an amazing week and happy October!!!
