New Job at JCPS

I am one of the newest itinerant teacher for deaf and hard of hearing students in Jefferson County.  I survived the week of training for new teachers, the two days of inservice, and the first three days with students.  I have successfully set up a schedule that will work well for everyone involved as long as I don't get new students.  I've already subtracted and added a total of 4 students as we locate which schools in the district they're actually attending.  I have 6 students that I will be working with this year.  I'm actually enjoying it!  The only part that still doesn't appeal to me is the constant climbing in and out of the car as I visit 7 schools. 

Benjamin is sitting really well.  He is getting a little more clingy than I like, but I can work with that.  After a long day of work, cuddling with the baby is the best remedy!
