School, school, and more school

Well, I have been at work now for 3 full weeks. So far it has been very interesting. I am still adjusting and getting used to things. I have had some interesting encounters with the teacher, funny enough, more than with the kids. My schedule is good. It's 7:30 to 3:30. Normally, I don't think I would be real hyped up about the idea of getting up to be at work by 7:30. For anyone who doesn't know, I am NOT a morning person, in the least. Lately though I have not struggled as much with getting up earlier. So, it works out to get up and get to work and then finish with time left in the afternoon. The next good thing is that work is only 6 min away. From the time we leave the house to the time I get out of the car. (I still can't drive and so Stephen is dropping me off.) So, its nice that travel time is less than 15 min for the whole trip. Also, it works out that since I can't drive and Stephen is not always able to pick me up, I am able to put in my exercise time and walk home. It takes about 40 minutes for me to walk it. So that's great! Now there is a morning class and an afternoon class. The morning class they are only 3 years old and the afternoon class is 4 year olds. There is only 4 students in each morning and afternoon. So 8 total kids that we work with. The morning class is farther behind, since they have not been in a school type setting for a year which most of the 4 year olds already have. I think all the kids are so cute. Its nice that there is only 4 at a time to work with so you get to see there personalities more and there cuteness is more apparent then it possibly would be in a bigger group. Its been a lot of fun to work in a school setting. This is my first time working in a school setting and its been fun. Its interesting going from working with the parents and how they are treating the kids to just getting to work with the kids. My job is also, more of the play with the kids and get in there in the middle of it. So, its been fun in those ways. There's the added aspect of the focus being getting the kids to talk and saying things so you can understand them. That's also a fun aspect. I'm enjoying all the time and efforts and experiences that I'm getting with the kids. Like I said the interesting encounters are with the teacher. Hopefully with time these encounters will lessen. For the time I try to focus as much as I can on the kids. :)
