I am now 9+ weeks into my 1st year teaching kindergarten at my school. In the beginning it was a lot of work, however....I loved it. It is still a lot of work...but I STILL love it. I am just in love with teaching Kindergarten. I LOVE it. I love the age, I love the content, I love that I can have fun with my students and be silly and talk about my kids and they love it. We have so much fun--and my students seem to all enjoy school!
Ever heard the saying "When you love the work you do, you don't work a day in your life?" That's totally how I feel. As a working mom I often think about being a stay-at-home Mom. While I definitely would love the freedom and the opportunities to spend and stay with my trio--I honestly LOVE what I am doing--so it doesn't feel like I am going to work. Ya, I don't exactly like getting up every morning and it gets daunting day after day. BUT--my Mom does such an amazing job with not only the boys but with Jordyn. And Jordyn absolutely loves her grandma (the boys do too!). I know they are in such great hands!
As a working mom I think about all the things I am "missing" out on--but, then I think about all the experiences I am having at school. When a student who has been struggling starts making HUGE strides (true story here!), when they are constantly sharing stories with you, when you celebrate loosing a tooth! When you can be silly and crazy while learning to count to 8! And then, I realize...
I am right where I need to be. A mom to three AND a kindergarten teacher. Because by golly gosh--I love my trio AND my kindergarten students!
