Still Working...
I am still working. Plan to up to water breaking (well, within reason at least). I am trying to make it to January 11- we'll see if I return after the New Year at all.
I am still loving my school. I have my take-over substitute in the room working with me already to get him ready to take over. Apparently I am becoming known as the "Queen of Classroom Management and Organization" at this school as well. The administration wants him to be just like me since I have the kids so "well trained" (sounds horrible, doesn't it?)
We have our Quality Review next week and I have been chosen as one of the lab sites for the reviewers to observe. This review is conducted by an outside source and the school receives a grade. Last year was the first year and the school received an A (low one at that). Therefore, we are working to raise the "scale" and show progress (which would equal $15,000 to the school). Feels like a lot of pressure for someone new to the school, 32+ weeks pregnant with twins, and trying to train a new teacher. Yikes
Still taking trips though- Friday we went to the Central Park Zoo and took a class. Never been and LOVED it. Can't wait to take the babes...
