Most of the mornings this last week have had frozen fog clinging to the trees. It is hard to capture the sparkle of the sun gleaming diamond like...such a beautiful way to start the day.
This is my route to Old Mill Elementary to substitute in the Special Ed class. It has been years since I've been in the classroom albeit I teach the ten year olds in Primary. I had a delightful experience..and like riding a bike it seemed like I'd hardly been away. The children were challenging but sweet. There was an aid for each child (about six) so they were never left alone. They spent most of the day in their regular classrooms along with their aids. Part of the day they would come in with me. I got lots of hugs when I left today. A nice way to augment the slow real estate market.
Seth was a good friend. He loved playing with the "kitchen" and spent a lot of time feeding me plastic food.
Tate is sweet and happy. He has cousins at the school who are caring and protective of him. He eats lunch with the kids from his "mainstream" classroom and they are kind and sweet with him.
This is Kayaah. She watches out for and helps the other children. She makes sure the room is orderly with chairs under the table and toys put away. She has beautiful flowing hair and a loving personality.
Hilma!!! I just spent a little while reading through your whole blog & enjoying all of the beautiful pictures of one of my most favorite places. You have really captured the beauty & peace of your wonderful home there. And I LOVE the pictures of all the grandkids--the dress up pics of Anna, Emma, & Megan are so adorable, & I LOVED the skiing pictures. What fun family times! We miss you guys. Love ya.
ReplyDeleteThis is nice. I'm glad you get the chance to work with the kids. I am sure they appreciate your kindness. Grandma Strebel would be proud.
