Email, anyone?

Hello everyone!  This is just a short post to check in.  Right now, I am gathering email addresses to send out my first monthly newsletter for Mission Year.  If you would like to receive a newsletter, please leave a comment with your email address.  (If you go to RiverRidge, I already have your email. Directories are wonderful!)  These newsletters are a way for me to keep in touch with you.  Have a nice night!  Take care, Sara

Hello again!

It's been a while!  If I was going to make excuses, I would blame it on curriculum again, but I won't make excuses!  

The last month has been a whirlwind of getting ready for August 22, my last day of work.  I finally told my work that I was leaving the area just two weeks ago.  I wanted to give them plenty of time to hire a new teacher.  Well, it didn't take long-- the teacher to-be was training with me all last week.  I won't get into it all, but leaving my children and my co-workers, along with some miscommunication between me and the teacher to-be, has caused some emotional turmoil.  I just want to be in Philly now, so I can skip the whole getting-ready part!! :D  

My wonderful manager,and my wonderful parents, have helped me process through it all.  The teacher to-be and I have somewhat reconciled, which has smoothed things out.  :)    I would still appreciate your prayers for continued reconciliation!

Just a reflection:  I think I might make preschool teaching a living if it was feasible, with the low income and all....I never thought I would enjoy being a preschool teacher as much as I do!
