Winter break is here! Next to having summers off it's the best thing about being a teacher! My first grade class has come a LONG way in the past 16 weeks. Our class has learned a lot, grown a lot, AND, most importantly laughed a lot (I sure hope their NWEA scores improve a lot too)! I've had quite the revolving door classrom this year. We have said goodbye to several of our classmates due to relocation, but, luckily we have welcomed some new friends too! As of Friday, we had 22 students in our class. Who knows what the new year will bring!
Since my current first grade teaching position is a semester long maternity leave, I only have two more weeks with this class once we return from break. WOW! It will be sad to leave the class and the children that have grown dear to me. The good news is I will not be going far!
Last week I accepted another temporary teaching position at the same school I am currently teaching at (Lafayette Meadows Elementary). I will be teaching second grade.
I will have about two weeks off between my transition in classes. I decided this would be a perfect time to make a trip to Colorado to visit my sister and brother-in-law. Last weekend I spent the weekend in Michigan with some friends doing a little skiing and learning how to snowboard in preparation for my trip to Colorado! I'm excited to hit the slopes in Colorado!
I've been blessed with these job opportunties! Please continue to pray for me as I make some decisions about what I plan to do in the year ahead once I complete my temporary teaching positions. God is constantly opening new doors and continually providing for me, but it requires a lot of waiting on the Lord. For those of you who know me well, I HATE WAITING! One of my good friends always tells me, "God is never late, he's always on time". As the bible says, "Strength will rise as we WAIT upon the Lord"!
Lord, please give me peace and patience as I wait upon you and your plan for the future.
