Third Times A Charm!

After one week of being completely homeless, I spent three days at a middle school.  I really enjoyed the way the day was set up but I couldn't get over the fact that I would not be able to have lunch with my dad on Wednesdays.  The middle school I was working at was a bit too far for my dad to meet me for lunch.  Additionally, the school was kind of dumping on me (Giving me students that were difficult, adding extra subjects and commitments)I was just getting accustomed to my sixth graders when the administration surprised me with a seventh grade math class.  I was not prepared to put in the work needed to correct 5 weeks of craziness so I had to decline the position.

Good News- I have found a home.  Bad News- I'm literally across from USC  Good News- This school has a partnership with USC and many students run enrichment programs for our students.  I can't turn down anyone who has a vested interested in educating tomorrow's youth.  In fact, my master teacher taught well and she is a Trojan.

It's been two weeks since I have started with my new munchins.  My students are so adorable, sweet, and caring.  I'm really enjoying my time with them.  It was difficult to leave my other fourth graders but it is nice to experience different schools.  This is my fourth school and each school has a different culture.  Since I plan on being an educational leader in the future, having varying viewpoints on how schools run is great.

I'm closer to home.  Lunch with dad continues.  I'm right where I need to be.  Life is good.
