Teaching Job

I got a teaching job last week and my first night was last night! I survived and I can't wait to go back tomorrow!

I found a local charter school within our district (Jeffco) who was looking for a part time, night, teacher for Language Arts. What did I have to lose, so I applied. I went through the inital interview and was offered the position two weeks ago. It's only part time - 7:30pm - 10pm Mon and Wed, but it's still teaching and I'm in the district I want to be! Plus, I can still be home with Jaina as well as go get to teach.

Last night was pretty easy, I think, and I've got free reign over what the class does since it's a newly incepted program within the school. I hope they'll keep me for next term (Jan-June) and it may work out that I'll be there next year too!

Halloween!

This year was the first year Jaina got to go trick-or-treating. She was an Ewok from Star Wars, and everyone loved her costume!

She was an Ewok from Star Wars, and everyone loved her costume!We only hit 5 houses - 3 of our neighbors, Kevin's parents, and their neighbors we know really well. At the first house, Jaina took one piece of candy and was ready to go. But, when we got to the second neighbors house, she had the drill figured out - candy gets put in the basket! :) By the time we got to Grandma & Grandpa's house, she started taking G'ma & G'pa's candy bowl and putting all the candy for THEIR trick-or-treaters and putting it into HER bucket!
