I just completed my second week of official work in PS 50. I feel like our work weeks go by so quickly, but the days seem to go by somewhat slowly. I suppose it's just because 10 hour work days are LONG no matter how you look at it. I'm enjoying getting to know the kids though. They really make this job so worth it. I'm lucky because I get to tutor kindergartners during after school, but I will be doing BBL lessons with the 3-5 graders. I'll get a wide range of ages I get to work with which is refreshing. There are some absolutely adorable children though. Even the little "monsters" are enjoyable. I just try to see the more difficult students as a challenge for me to change up my ways to reach them. We will be doing our first Bringing Books to Life (BBL) lesson on Monday and I'm SO excited. We did a run through on Friday and I'm feeling really confident...it's solid.
Our PS 50 team is officially named the Weird Pack. We were sitting around the office on Thursday and it just struck me how awesomely WEIRD everyone on our team is. SO, we now have a nickname just so everyone knows about it!
Jan and I did a little shopping today. I got the most amazingly cute headwrap from Anthropologie. It was totally worth the 24 dollars! We ate at this Cuban place by our apartment first which was so good. Afterward we went to this bar right by Jan's friend's apartment in NoHo to watch the Florida vs. Arkansas game. That was QUITE a game. Florida is stupid and is overrated. :) Andre and Brian came over to visit for a little while and see the apartment. Now, I'm just catching up on sleep and TV for the rest of the night....both of which are very necessary.
Woooooo. okay goodnight!
