Back 2 School



This is where I will be spending my Tuesdays and Thursdays until December! I get to work with the school counselor and teach kids how to get along, be polite, get good grades, cope with life and other fun stuff. It's a private elementary school grades Pre K-8th. The kids are all really cute in their little uniforms and they are all really polite. Here are some major highlights from my day
1. School is a sad place. The teachers and adults are so mean to the kids. "Be Quiet!, Get back in line!!! Don't touch anyone!!! Say Please" I even heard one of the teachers rudely say "Be Polite!!" If adults talked to each other like this we'd all be punching each other.
2. The teachers lounge isn't as cool as I always imagined it to be. I distinctly remember the faculty lounge being a mysterious place where children weren't allowed. Today I was sad when I realized it's just a room with tables and a fridge. What a let down.
3. School counseling is the perfect job for me! I'm really excited to work as a counselor some day. The counselor gets to be the nice person in the school. I'll never have to yell, I have fun games in my office to help kids relax and I get to be the friend that the kids can trust.
I'll be sure to keep you posted on what other great things I learn while living in the elementary world.

Utah

Taurean has been using my computer for school, so I'm way behind on blogging. I went home to Utah last month. It was good to see family and friends.
Take a look at these giant water slides! Can you say lucky grandkids?
Nothing like a night out with the friends
Abby and I spent an afternoon with Tia! It was really good to see her
While I was home we were able to get away to Vegas for the weekend! We ate wonderful food, shopped and got to see the Lion King and the Beetles 'Love' Show
Serendipity's frozen hot chocolate! It was delicious!
