Two Weeks Teaching!

The last of my required ECE classes and my first two weeks as a preschool teacher have been completed. So far, so great! I really like the staff I'm working with and I especially like the Lead Teacher I'm working with. Not to mention the kids are awesome! To top off the end of my first two weeks, I had an experience that to some is just cute, but to me expresses why I knew I would love teaching:

A little girl in my class was in the reading corner where there is a mirror. She ran up to me saying, "Ms. Ashleigh, I think my eyes are cracking." 

"What do you mean?" I say.

"My eyes look like they're cracking."

"They look fine to me. Why do you think they're cracking?"

"Look!" she says, closing her eyes.

I see the veins in her eye lids networking across her eyes and realize she thinks they look like cracks.

"Oh! I see, those are veins!"

"What are veins?"

And I got to enthusiastically explain what veins are for and how we have them all over our body. She was so eager to learn something she had discovered on her own and excitedly checked out the rest of her body for veins and told others about their veins. 

Obviously, the new job is going great! Now the hard part is getting a new living arrangement in place! We have been looking to buy and prices are still dropping. Pray for us that we can make it happen!!
