So I haven't blogged in about a month.
Basically, my time has been consumed with getting ready for my NEW JOB!!!
I have been hired as a KINDERGARTEN teacher at a new charter school in Pittsburgh, Imagine Penn Hills.
Our School's Grand Opening
I know everyone has probably heard from the teachers in their life how much work is involved...but can you imagine doing that AND helping start up a brand new school? It has been a very fun, but also very busy time. I felt a little guilty blogging during this time!
I have 20 kindergartners and they are a great bunch. I have been spending A LOT of time teaching them things that might seem silly - how to line up, how to wait in the hall, how to ask for help, how to gather materials, etc. Not too exciting yet!

The days are somewhat longish - I actually woke up around 4:40 to run before work this morning! I am hoping this is something I can get in the habit of, I actually have more energy at work when I run first. More time to spend with puppies later!
On another note, last weekend we attended my best friend's sister's wedding. It was at a CASTLE! It was so beautiful out and we had a great view. We had a great time with Caitlin and Peter!!!

As requested, a picture of Bruno. He is a bone chewing fiend. He looks like he is smoking a cigar!

Ok that's amazing that you built that desk...I wish I were talented and were able to craft such great looking furniture!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new job. That's very admirable that you started a new school, what a bold undertaking! Good for you.
