Changes

In August I decided to leave Lil' Bloomers to go back to subbing. It was a hard decision to make because subbing isn't always the most reliable for a steady income. However, I was busy most days in September and I have worked every day in October. I have even been requested in some classrooms! So it's been nice having steady work (and income!).


Back in September, I applied for a teaching position at Richland 44 School District for a preschool teacher position. The description stated that it was only three days a week, but I thought, "Hey at least it would be a foot in a door in a school district." The posting also said that the envelopes must be postmarked by Oct. 15. On October 18 I was teaching kindergarten in Fargo and when I had a break in the morning I checked my phone for messages or texts and I had a message from the principal at Richland to set up an interview. I was pumped! Iset up my interview for this past Wednesday. I thought it went well...but not that well that I would recieve a phone call that same night to offer me the position!! Yes, I got the job!!


So, I will be teaching preschool again. I am excited to have a classroom again, and a brand new one at that!! It is still under construction and will be ready by the Jan. 3 start date. I am going to be presented to the school board in a couple of weeks and after my principal gets the OK, I will get my teaching contract. I am really excited for this new opportunity to teach and grow as an educator.


OK, 'nuf about me! Bryce has some news too: He has decided to return to Microsoft. Same position as before but more money. He will start back there in late November/ early December.

And since I have not posted forever, I better throw a picture of Emily on here because I love sharing her pictures!!
