Wow I have finally had some time to sit down and write about this new chapter in my life. Even though it is my 4th week of teaching I still get the chills realizing that I am a special education teacher. My dream has come true and I couldn't being more tired but also more happier!!
When I first accepted the Kindergarten position I thought oh gosh..kindergarten? I was so used to 5/6th grade and I don't even know what to do with Kindergarten but God sure did know what he was doing. The one beautiful thing about Kindergarten is the fact that they don't question my disability at all. From day one they accepted me with open arms and don't look at me as different. How amazing is that? The more time that has gone on the more I really do love Kindergarten. it is the age where they have such simple innocent minds and really want to learn. I love watching them grow from the first day I had them to now. The simple fact of holding a pencil correctly is a victory. Oh also they sure do love stickers and goldfish. As long as you have those two things you are good to go!
The other aspect I love about my job is the school I am at. I am the luckiest girl because I have the most supportive staff you could ask for. Everyday they genuinely care about how I am doing and try to help me in the best way possible.
Yes, this is the most exhausting thing I have ever done but at the same time I wake up everyday with a smile knowing that God placed these children in my classroom for a reason and I already see him working through my kids and making my class filled with five year old best friends. The Lord is SO good everybody!
