Yesterday was my first official day back at work. Today we set up the classroom. Work is rather frustrating because we don't have a teacher. At least they didn't move around any of the assistants like they did in many of the other classrooms, but our fearless leader quit and went to work for Salem-Keizer School District. She's making $8,000 per year more but she probably wouldn't have been looking for another position if our supervisor had been kinder to her. They had a big disagreemant just before school let out and she wouldn't speak to the teacher all summer, even though they were in the same building. Anyway, it's going to be an interesting year. They were interviewing applicants today so maybe we'll have teacher before school starts. I hope we get a good one. At least everyone else is experienced.
Our young women are having a real special activity tomorrow night. We're having a Book of Mormon Celebration. They were all challenged to read the Book of Mormon over the summer. A few of them were able to finish and most of them have read some. We're having a fun evening with King Benjamin (Nathan) and Abinidi (Robin Wirfs) and then we're having a slide show while a sister sings the song "The Day the Savior Came". It's a beautiful song about when Christ came to the Nephites. It should be an excellent evening.
Trina, do you have any ideas for me as to how I can help my girls work on their personal progress? We don't have a specialist called to work with the girls yet, so I need to get them going. What kids of motivation did you use? How did you keep them interested in earning them? I need to get going on this. You mentioned that I need to work on mine. You said that you made the goals more meaningful for you as an adult. Can you give me some ideas?
I guess that's all for now. I haven't talked to Eric since his last post but if I hear anything, I'll be sure to let you know.
Love always,
MOM
