Okay, so it's been a few days since I've found the time (and energy) to post. Not that anything has changed recently. I lead a pretty dull life. I started my new job this week. Right now, we are super busy with testing all the first graders twice--two different tests. Next week, we will help in the 2/3rd grade building for two days, then I think we will compile and compare results. I don't really know the full scope of what is going to be happening, but I guess we'll take it as it comes. I do know this: all Illinois schools should have air conditioning installed and used during the months of May and August/September. And, the K/1st building is WAY too small for all that goes on there. Example: K had recess in the HALLWAY this afternoon because it was raining and the PE classes were in the gym. So much for exercise. 100 5 year olds in a hallway is NOT a pretty picture. Anyhow, that is all the "news" from here.
Praise God that He is continually faithful. Praise Him, even in the little things. I tested a former student of mine today--one that could be a great student, but that brings a lot of baggage to school. I prayed for him last year, even after he moved. He did wonderful on the testing today, and I immediately thanked God. I thanked Him for the little boys and girls that brought smiles. I thank Him for changing my heart and giving me the peace and grace that I need everyday to give smiles and words of encouragement. I thank Him for a job that is rewarding. What are you thankful for today?
