1. Vegas is Vegas. Nothing too exciting is happening here. I haven't been out hiking for a while, but can't wait to get back out there next weekend. I love hiking. It is a new joy I found in my life. It's shocking, really.
2. School is great. I love my kiddos. There are 16 of them and we have a great time together. They are a little sassy and seem to be growing up too fast for 2nd graders, but I love them all the same. We just started an insect unit, so we have been doing a lot of fun bug activities to learn about them. I also taught a different 2nd grade class for a few weeks while mine were away on break. I did a Chinese lesson with them and it was phanomal!! Pictures are included. Also with school, I took on a fundraising event. I organized and put together a McDonalds night where the teachers worked at McDonalds and the students came in to eat and what not. 20% of that nights earnings went to the school. We earned over $450. I was happy with how it all went. I can tell you I will NEVER work fast food! I've also enjoyed visiting a Special Education Deaf room on my open hours at school. The teacher is inactive but a great guy, and the kids are so sweet. I'm even picking up a little sign language. I love it!
The are the deaf students I love to visit each day!
These are my 2nd graders classifying insects.
The insect bullentin board I put up!3. My roommate and I have found some fun behind closed doors - so we don't humiliate ourselves. We are learning the song and dance to Hoedown from the Hannah Montana movie. Laugh all you want, but it is fun and we get a kick out of it. It is really big here in Vegas. I won't lie, I kinda want to see the moive.
4. I'm counting down the days until I move to Utah. I'll be out there in August and can't wait! It'll be nice to be closer to some family and just be in a place I consider more like "home." Vegas isn't the place for me.
I'm alive and doing well. I'm happy and enjoying this time of my life. I have many challenges and hardships, but with those always comes blessings and happy moments. I know if I give it my all and don't ever give up, I will succeed and find what I am looking for. But really, I can't complain. This is an exciting time for me!
