Yesterday was my first official day with my new Life Skills program at school. I have eight students (6th thru 8th graders) and they are with me most of the day for Math, Language Arts, Social Studies and Science. I also have them for a period where we work on social skills and just do fun activities to work on interacting with each other appropriately. You guys…I’m having so much fun at work I can’t stand it! The kids are all super excited about it too so that makes it all the better. Especially because how often do middle school kids get excited about anything school related? And let’s be real for a second, how cool is it that I’ve been teaching for 25 years and I’m loving my job more now than maybe I ever have. Since I was at the elementary for several years I’ve had most of them since the third grade so we’re all used to each other and it’s kind of a family-like atmosphere. I’m still a bit overwhelmed because every day boxes of new materials arrive and I have so much to sort through and organize. It will all come together though. What matters the most is my kids are now where they are going to learn the best, and they can feel comfortable and happy while doing it.
I decided I needed some color in my life so I thought my lavender midi skirt and plaid top would do just fine. And how about that gorgeous neck bling?! I don’t know why I tend to wear black and gray so much more often in the winter. Don’t get me wrong…I love black, and gray is my favorite neutral, but sometimes a girl’s just gotta have some color. Since we’re still in the midst of the arctic tundra season boots were a necessity. These black beauties have been lurking around in the furthest reaches of our attic for years. Literally, years. I think the last time I wore them was probably six winters ago. Crazy, right? These are some pretty smokin’ hot boots to have been forgotten in the shadows for so long.
