Teaching Again
by Erica
I was chatting with a friend and former co-worker last week. She presented me with the opportunity to teach a group of third graders once a week for an hour. I jumped on the opportunity right away!
I have been able to plan a four-week study on children's author Tomie dePaola. I haven't had to worry about meeting state standards or explaining how this supports my curriculum. I get to do activities with them that I couldn't do with a class of 30 students. They are going to eat pasta as I read aloud the book Stregna Nona, write 'someday stories' after reading The Art Lesson, and taste test different kinds of popcorn after we read The Popcorn Book. More ideas are popping into my head as I write. I am very excited!

Wow, Ashlyn is getting so big and is looking more like you more and more everyday Erica! :)
Oh I'm so happy for you, sounds like a great opportunity! Seems like you have a great mix of being mom and teacher, without too much pressure. Can't wait to see the little darling. And you of course! We missed you over the weekend!
