A New Job

I found a way to be a stay at home mom and be a "teacher" at the same time! My old boss called a few weeks ago to offer me a part time position. I'm not sure what my job title is, but my primary responsibility is to provide additional instruction to 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students in the area of math. I will also be writing tests to assess students and identify who needs help and what concepts need to be addressed within small groups of students.
I have a friend who is going to watch Samuel while I'm at the school for 2 hours, 2 days a week doing the small group instruction with the kids (Thanks Shawn!). The rest of the work will be from home (writing tests and analyzing them). I'm really excited about this job for many reasons: it involves my favorite parts of teaching (writing assessments, analyzing info, teaching math, and working with small groups of students), it provides mental stimulation (more than patty cake and peek-a-boo), and it's good for my resume when I do go back to work... and, of course, the added income. So, I guess that about covers it... I've already written three lengthy tests and will start the small group instruction next Tuesday (November 11).
