Preschool Graduation

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Before we moved up north...I taught preschool for about two years. Since we left midway through the school year, I really wanted to be able to go back and see them all graduate to Kindergarten. This Friday is their Preschool Graduation and I can't wait! The students are what I miss most about my job and I'm really excited to see them all! The graduation ceremony is quite the little program...the kids sing, then they walk across the bridge and get their diploma (all while wearing their graduation hat).:) It's so cute...I'm so thrilled that I'm able to go down and be apart of it. My parents even get to come with me which will be fun too, as they've never met my class or seen where I work. It should be a really great weekend.

Time Flies!

Today my sister-in-law, who just finished getting her degree in Education at a University here, is over using our computer getting everything in order for the dreaded job search that we all face once out of school! It's crazy to think that only two years ago I was finishing up with college and searching for a teaching a job! What a stressful time, sending out resumes and hoping that the right job comes along. Especially going into education....sometimes it's very hard to land that first job. It can take a lot of time to find something that's right for you. I was blessed to get my teaching job shortly out of school and I'm hoping my sister-in-law finds that her search is short-lived as well! Wow...how time flies!

I recently came across information on an interesting new book that I wanted to share with everyone. The book is titled, Appreciative Coaching, and was co-authored by Sara Orem. This is a book that gives readers four stages (Discovery, Dream, Design and Destiny) to help them appreciate themselves and gives them an empowering view of who they are and of their future. This book is specifically designed for managers and executives who can influence the changes that go into their businesses, using the idea that their companies will do well when human ideals, achievements, and best practices are the focus. Please check this book out soon and see what you think. The author, Sara Orem, works as a faculty member of Capella University, a fully accredited online university offering a great Master Degree and Undergraduate Degree program.

Campus around the nation

As if the news about the Virginia Tech shootings isn't sad enough, in the past two days, there have been other schools that have received bomb threats similar to the ones found at VT. It just saddens me that people would watch this tragedy unfold all over television, and then some go out and threaten their own schools!! There was a school down in Texas, one in Minnesota, and one in New Jersey! I just can't believe it!
