Episode 3: Getting in the Groove

Hey all, and Happy Independence Day to our country! What could be more patriotic than writing a blog? Hmm.... don't answer that. Anyway, I have somehow made it to the 60% mark through Institute, and only have 2 weeks left! Craziness, I know!

I am really connecting with the kids, and will definitely be sad to leave them in 2 weeks. It seems like we are FINALLY getting somewhere with their learning and investment in the material. We definitely still have some issues with kids being invested in their learning (as opposed to their social lives), but we are making progress!

I have a tentative job for the fall... at a Junior High teaching 9th grade science. Right now, the placement is kind of hanging on the certification test scores which I get back on Monday... *bites nails nervously* So I am really praying that I passed that chemistry test so this school will actually hire me!!

Life has basically been nonstop work, but we are occasionally blessed by a break, like yesterday, which we got off, giving me a chance to catch up on sleep, laundry, cleaning the room, and of course, lesson planning!
Just in case you didn't believe me. :)

Love you all, thanks for any and all prayers! They are greatly appreciated!
