Big changes happening in the Asiala household. Alan and I have both just finished this school year. We are looking forward to more relaxing days, time spent as a family, and summer jobs that are a little more low key. For Alan, that means tending to the irrigation needs of a 4.5 star local golf course. It makes me chuckle that he punches in earlier for his summer job than he even gets up during the school year. I will be proving speech services 2 days a week for the Michigan Migrant Head Start Program. This is my 3rd year and I can't wait to learn some more Spanish! Thomas will be spending much more time home with mommy and daddy, something he is looking forward too. He will still go to daycare, but only a couple of days a week so I can work.
Alan and I both have new job assignments for the Fall of this year. Alan will be teaching elementary school - the grade is yet to be determined. He is a bit apprehensive since he has spent the last 9 years teaching middle school. However, the younger age should be a refreshing change of pace.
I am leaving my position in our Early Intervention Program for an Itinerant Speech position in our local school. I'm a little nervous, I haven't worked with "old" kids in a while. I recently joked with a co-worker that I'll have to get used to having conversations with my students. For the past 6 years I've worked with toddlers. If they get conversational they get dismissed! I have spent the last couple of days unpacking and sorting my new office. I'm excited for the new challenges. The biggest bonuses are that I will be working 1. In the school Thomas will go to and 2. In another building with my good friend Kathy.
In the meantime, we will be taking naps, reading books (okay, maybe not Alan), camping, and spending time with our friends and family.
