Lesson Plans and Name Tags

Another big change that is going to be happening for the VBK house has to do with my job. 

Prior to our move to Virginia, I taught elementary school for eight years and worked as a part time nanny while we lived in Florida.  When we moved to Virginia in 2011, God provided me the awesome opportunity to be a full time nanny to June and Baylee and be a full time Mommy to Nate.  It was a wonderful experience and am so thankful that I got to spend that time with Nate and the girls. 

While I looked into being a nanny again for this coming school year, things just didn't work out.   While I would have loved being a nanny again, God has yet again provided an awesome opportunity and I will be returning to the classroom in September. Instead of teaching elementary school, I will be teaching Pre-K4!  As of right now, I have 11 students.  I'm so excited about returning to teaching and since this school is an actual preschool instead of a daycare, I will be teaching them how to read. 

The only down side is that my mind is filled with lesson plans, name tags, center ideas, and all of the things that come with teaching.  When it's time for bed, I can't sleep because my mind is constantly thinking about all that has to be done and accomplished before the first day with my students on September 4.  Even with the lack of sleep, I am thrilled to have this new job!!!
