Back to Work

I've officially returned to work. This week started my "new teacher training" though I'm not a new teacher, I am new to the company so I'm required to partake in this week long training session. After two days I can honestly say that it's a cool company and my tailbone hurts SOOOO bad. I'll get to the cool company part in a bit, for now lets discuss my tail bone. We have been sitting in kid sized chairs for about 13 hours over the past two days and as a result I'm in a little bit of pain and discomfort. I've never really noticed my tail bone before, I mean I knew it was there, but never really had a reason to think about it. Well now I'm very aware if it and am not quite sure how the heck I'm going to make it through three more days of sitting at kid sized desks in plastic kid sized chairs. I am definitely going to have this burned into my mind forever and try to have my students get up often and change positions because literally this sucks!

On to the cool company part. I call it a company because it is a company. Its structure is like a company and it's run like a company, rather than a school. If I keep that in mind then I find it easier to buy into the ideas and beliefs because I'm not constantly comparing it to traditional public schools. They don't have principals, but rather Chief Administrative Officers and the curriculum is very unique. I have to say that I'm actually learning and getting some new information, which I love so my only complaint are those darn chairs.

I'm a little sad that summer is officially over, it went SO fast! I can't believe that my little Baby M is going to be 1 in a few weeks, he's not so little anymore :( They grow up so fast. We are planning a Bab.y Ein.stein birthday party for August 30th. I'm just now getting ready to send out invites. It's definitely harder to get things done when I'm working full days. I'll update more soon about our preschool debacle and opportunity.
