I am going to try to keep up with this better this year :).
After three LONG years I received my first paycheck at a teachers salary! I'm almost a fully month into teaching vs. assisting and I must say I really enjoy it. There are days that I miss my kids and interacting with my peers more in the building (being stuck in the connections hall makes for a lonely Beth) BUT I love having control over what I am teaching and how I'm teaching it. I can judge my kids ability and adjust however I need to ensure they understand, not just try to adjust someone's lesson and hope it works.
Justin has started his new assignment as well and he really seems to enjoy it. He is doing "Enrichment" which is a fancy word for a Common Core based project class. He is working with 7th grade teaching kids how to properly do a research project in the Science content. I know it has been a challenge for him to adjust but he really enjoys the class and it's a lot less stressful than the 8th grade Science for HS credit.
My last school note...Olivia starts preschool next Tuesday! I know, yes she is already almost 3 years old. She'll be going two days a week for just 4 hours a day, but I really think she is going to enjoy this change in her day and having a chance to "play" with other kids instead of always being around adults. She picked out her own backpack and lunchbox and was even ready to go this morning :). I will ensure to take lots of pictures Tuesday and post them ASAP.
