Just wanted to get on and give a quick update. I am making some progress. After tomorrow I have one week left in my SPED placement at Cedar High School. I have loved every minute of this experience. I have been teaching the remedial math class on my own for the last four weeks. I love those kids. 7 of them are severe students and the severe students are my favorite. I don't have them all in my class but I do make it a point everyday to go in and visit with them at some point. I am in their room in the morning welcoming them to school, visiting with them, bumping knuckles, giving hugs or whatever else. If I don't see them there I stop by their table in the lunch room on my way home for lunch. I walk down the table and say hello to each one of them, we bump some knuckles, laugh and have fun together. Highlight of my day. I told my clinical supervisor the other day how much I am going to miss that when it ends next week. I suppose I am looking forward to the second week of December when I will be done with everything. I will come back over to the high school and visit with my friends. I had an aid today tell me that she hopes a certain teacher retires so I can take that spot. Made me feel good. I would love to have a spot there but have no problem with the current teacher. She does a good job. One of the teachers mentioned that her position may come open as her husband has opened an office in St. George and they don't know how they feel about commuting. I would love that too. We will see how things progress and hope for the best.
Things are busy. We have had some crazy things happen at the Brick House and fortunately have been able to navigate through it. It certainly isn't without its challenges but I have been able to stick to my busy schedule with students teaching and trying to get through everything else I have to do right now. Good times.
So, there it is. Sorry for the absence on the blog. Just one of those things. Hopefully I can keep up a little better.
