NSV! Photo whoring! (Okay, totally over posting today!)

I'm actually in an elementary school--crazy, huh?  Public schools here have REAL teachers for music, PE, and library in the district where I work.  My actual children also get art and dance (can you believe that??) in their neighborhood public school--and class size is never more than 25.  It's amazing.  Imagine your kids going to a "specialist" for 45 minutes every day while you got (gasp) PREP time.  I'm finding my way with managing such a wide range of kiddos.  My day literally goes 2nd grade, 5th grade, 1st grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade.  On Wednesdays (our early release day) I get all Kinder, so at least I feel less scattered that day. 

It is rainy rainy rainy and DARK but I'm adjusting.  I'd like to find a support group here but am having no luck.  I think I'd have to drive into Portland and their traffic is not fun thanks to all the bridges.  I'm also having a hard time figuring out exercise here.  I literally cannot find any classes that start after 6:30, and by the time I get home and take kids to activities I need to go later (as I was doing in SJ).  I'm looking forward to summer and more sunlight, though.  Maybe I'll run again even though I kind of hated it.

Hope your year is going well.  Tell everyone (if you see them) that I say hi. :)
