October came and went way too fast! Lots and lots of fun activities and events! First up we got the kids school pictures and they are too cute for words!
Big news for our our family happened in October! I was offered a part time job as a reading clinician at the kids school! I was kind of caught off guard when it was offered to me. I was substitute teaching one day and the principle came to me and asked if I would be interested in a part time job Monday-Friday 9-12:30. At first I thought no way I love the freedom of my days off and I also thought I would not be qualified since I don't have a teaching credential. Well I told her I would think about it and let her know later. Well that night I told Spencer about the offer and we looked more into it on the school districts web page. Well sure enough the job pays AMAZING and the position is actually a really hard position to get. After really thinking about it, it seemed like a wonderful opportunity. I get to be at my kids school on a regular bases, the pay is great and it's part-time. The next day I emailed and said that I would be interested. I had to go through a back ground check and also had to get my transcripts from college evaluated to waive the fact that I don't have a credential. I also had to do an interview and get letters of recommendation. I really did not think I would get it just due to the lack of a credential and the teaching experience but because the school really likes me and felt that I would do a good job I got the position! It all happened so fast. My first day was Monday October 9th. I love it! The first week was just learning the ropes and then the second week I started teaching. I teach K-5th grade. I'm whats called an RTI teacher. I teach groups of 6 students based on their grade level for 30 minutes a day. I work on letter recognition and sounds for the younger grades and reading comprehension for the older grades. My schedule is great I work 9-12:15 with 20 min. break! Aubrey, Carter and their friends come in my classroom at recess to play and have snack it's great!
I wasn't ready to let my airport job go completely yet. I have been there for 12 years and I couldn't find it in my heart to just quit on Stan and Jim so I go on Mondays right after teaching for a few hours. Spencer took a couple Monday afternoons off for me to help with picking up the kids but we have since changed it to me only working 2.5 hours to get off in time to get them from school. My first Monday I came home to this dinner....
