The subject is love.: Good News!

It’s been way too long! However, my lack of blogging has been for a good reason! I got a job! I am now a lead teacher at Aspen Leaf Preschool in the Bankers Hill area of San Diego! Yay. As you know, it was super hard for me to leave my Kindergarten teaching position at Lura Libby School because I loved my job and the people I worked with so much. So…looking for a new job seemed like a pretty daunting task, how would anything ever “measure up?” But this job just seemed like it was meant to be from the start. I saw the ad, sent my application packet and in a few days I had an interview. A few days after that I was offered the job! I feel so lucky because it seems like a really good fit. Bridget, the owner, is great and I am so thankful to her for giving me this opportunity to work with little ones, my favorite age group!

I was doing pretty well with the whole “I don’t have a job, what am I going to do everyday” gig I had going, but waking up every morning and getting ready for school feels pretty great. So, I am even happier now. School is where I need to be. And receiving a paycheck can’t hurt either. Charlie was more than supportive while I was job searching but it’s nice not asking for money anymore. I like to be independent so asking was probably harder for me than it was for him.

We are on week two of school now and I am settling into new routines and a new teaching style. I am doing a lot of research for my new age group, but I love learning so I welcome the opportunity.

Here are a few photos of my new classroom and school. And, of course, some flowers that I walk by on my way J.

Through the doors leads to the deck, which can be like an outdoor classroom here because it's usually very nice outside.
