10/13 The Flag

I have decided to get more creative with my photo editing so I can share more with you guys about my job. For those of you who do not know me personally, I am head over heals in love with my job. Sure, I have my days of frustration- who doesn't. But, I have many many more days of pure bliss. I am a teacher. I teach the most amazing children that I have ever met (relatives excluded of course!). I teach children ages 2 1/2-6 years old. My school is a Montessori School with a little over 200 students. We teach ages 18 months to 6th grade. Children typically stay in my class for 3 years. If you are unfamiliar with the Montessori philosophy, I invite you to learn more about it. It is not for everyone, but it is something I believe in.

I really try to build a community and connect with the families as much as possible. I am starting my 5th year this fall. The oldest children in my class my 1st year will be 4th graders this year. I am fortunate enough that I am still connected with a lot of these children through the Girl Scouts and other school wide functions. I pour my heart and soul into what I do- and it is SO much fun for me. Some days I can't believe I get paid for having so much fun, but I am extremely thankful that I do. I have always felt that I had to be reserved in the blog world and in the past have been reluctant to share. My class even has their own private blog that the parents can log into and see what is going on and class photo albums. We are doing some pretty interesting and amazing things. So, in an effort to feel more balance- enjoy the creative photo editing and sharing of something I really love.

So, I present to you-- the flag. I hope you enjoy.
