well
what to say today - Happy Mother's Day!

first things first...
Thanks to all who prayed for me for my interview on Friday - all went well - God carried me through every moment and I spoke as clearly as I could. =P I was a little bit of a butthead because I have been waiting for a phone call from them about a second interview. So I figured they didn't call on Friday so I guess I'll have to wait until Monday. Well - this morning, I decided to check my email - because I haven't checked email in days - and guess what? There's an email from them scheduling my second interview for this Wed night! AHHHH! Guess what else? the email was sent at 12:44pm on Friday afternoon. That was literally minutes after I left the office. I was in my car in the parking lot at 12:45pm. How amazing is that? So anyway - this part is the most difficult - I will be interviewed by parents, teachers and administrators. They will ask me to produce a writing sample and they will interview me for hours - so they say... I'm a little nervous and of course - I have nothing to wear...

Well - this position is not exactly what I was looking for - but I's always said that I'm willing to change... so I guess that's what I'm doing.... the position is a 5th grade teacher - teacher 3 sections of Social Studies and 2 sections of Language Arts. But I would be doing that with 4 groups of kids.... It's a bit confusing but totally cool... The Social Studies curriculum in 5th grade is Economics and Civics... so they asked if I'd be comfortable teaching that... I am willing to learn and I've got the whoel summer - so why not? So I've done a little research and I've discovered that there's a NYS test in Social Studies in 5th grade - woah! It's multiple choice, short answer and an essay - total pressure on these kids! I have a lot of studying to do... hee hee - that is - if I get the position.

So, I had a great feeling about the school - it's large, but has small class sizes - they say there are 22-24 kids per room! Can you imagine -there are 36 in my classroom now! BUt we'll see what happens...

I just ask for continuous prayer as I prepare for this week's interview...

Also - what do I do about my school? Do I tell my principal? Do I wait until I get an offer? Is it ethical to tell her now?

argh. orayer prayer prayer
