Can you believe it has been around 2 months since I last posted? Well, it has! Crazy! The past couple of months have flown by, and this does not sadden me at all because it is so hot! The faster we make it to fall, the better! Can I get an 'amen' from fellow Texans? Wow! I don't even want to step outside! It is just crazy hot.
Enough about the weather.
As most of you know, I started a new job. I am the Associate Director at a Huntington Learning Center in Pearland. There are lots of things I like about the job, and, with every job, there are lots of things I don't like. Such is life. There are some super cute kids who come to the center, and I love the curriculum. It is somewhat old school, and very heavy in phonics. Especially with phonics being the gateway to reading. For some reason this idea is becoming obsolete in public schools. The first-grade team I worked with last year were some of the only teachers I have seen lately who include phonics as part of everyday instruction. I really appreciate parents who sacrifice to send their kids to someplace like Huntington, and not just because it pays my paycheck! I think in this day and age supplemental education is very important...especially for kids who are at that average/below average level.
Enough about the job.
My little sister, Allison, started school at Houston Baptist this fall. She has been in the Houston area for two weeks now, and I love it! I have been able to see her two weekends in a row, and it has been fantastic! I'm not a huge fan of the part of town HBU is located in, but the campus is really nice. I am just so thrilled that Allison will be so close for the next couple of years! Woo!
I know I have many other things to share about, but I am drawing a blank. I hope y'all are doing well!
