Day #2
Today was interesting...I had some observation to do in preschool, and some videos to watch, and a CD rom to do that explained the benefits package available to employees. I also got put "into Ratio" which means I was responsible for children...it was kinda scary, but I think as soon as I get used to the kids, their personalities, the rules that I need to follow and get a handle on what I'm supposed to be doing, I'll be fine;) I got put in ratio during lunchtime.....yeah....two year olds and applesauce, mashed potatoes and chicken patties.....good times:) I'll figure it out eventually! Tomorrow I go for Diversity training in the morning, and then I'm not sure what will happen in the afternoon. I might go into a classroom, or I might get to go home early. We'll see! I think next week I begin full time in my class, 8:30-5:30 or something. It seems like really long days! Longer than I've ever endured at a job, but it should be fun and rewarding!Until tomorrow!!!

So Baby Girl, how did the 2 year olds manage to eat their applesause and mashed potatoes??? Did you have to wash many little hands and faces?
Love ya Bunches!! :) :) ;)
I have to admit, while reading this post, I thought "This will either make Jo want kids soon or make her want to avoid having kids for quite some time." ^_^ And then it made me think of the time we were all at Roz and Dave's house (and Java was farting a great deal) and you asked Kaitlyn when she and Sean were going to have babies because Kallie was so cute, and she said "Oh, God."
*ahem*
Sorry. ^_^
Anyways, good luck tomorrow! But what's "diversity training?"
Joanne-y! Glad to hear that things are going well for you in your new job, and especially that you had such a warm welcome. That's always encouragine. It does sounds like quite a long day, but you'll be able to handle it. And you'll get that sleep routine that you're so desperate for.
Keep up the good work and show them who's boss, girl! You'll do really well in this position. I know it. Un baccione a presto.
Kids wear you out soooo bad. Back when I was in Billericay I just wanted to go to bed when I got home on friday. There was one time when I slept from about 7pm on Friday until about 9am on Saturday.
whew. I was teaching year 4 (grade 3) today... I don't think I could handle 2 year olds. Good for you, jo. show them who's boss and they'll love you! Eat your food kids! Don't make a mess! At least you don't have to mark their homework...
Glad things are going well.
Doug
