We also took the kids to the circus. It was pretty neat. They lasted the whole time (minus Micah falling asleep) and loved it!
Micah fell asleep during it lol
Performing their own circus haha!
Making art at girl scouts
Film outakes (you'll see some throughout this month)
KiRyn and Jaime being my last minute cue card holders
So much has been happening, I haven't had time to write about this! We had Cameron's IEP meeting in January and I ended up being the one to run almost all of it. It was as if his teacher (who has been teaching for 11 years I think she said) never did one before. It was nuts! The kicker was that she didn't even know that he knew the letters of the alphabet. Is Cameron hyper and hard to manage sometime? Yes. But still, you should be making time to help him academically, not just feeding him all day. I know the level of all of my students and I am the only special ed teacher in my whole building!!! It made us so furious so we made the decision to take him out of school and put him in ABA all day. We signed him up for Epic (online school) just in case schools in Texas don't like that (even that is pointless, but whatever). So he goes there full time every day now except for the half day on Fridays, where we have a lady from church watch him for a half day. I pick him up everyday because my job gets out first. But I started this film at my school and I cannot stop it. So I pick him up and take him with me to film. Ms. Harban watches the kids while I get Cam, and then I designate a "Cameron Crew" who keeps and eye on him while we film. It worked out thankfully, but it's super exhausting.
Emmitt and Cameron
"A bunk bed for the Barbies" hahaha!
Another thing I forgot to write about. So Bobby's mom had an infection on her foot since December/November. She had a few operations and now they needed to amputate her foot! So they did that earlier this month. Then the weirdest thing happened. Bobby's mom told him he was moving in with his sister because she could take care of her better. So Bobby's dad was out of the house. And his sister doesn't like her communicating with him. So weird! We told him to move in with us. It helps us out and gives him something to do. He likes the senior center here, so he'll go to that and help us with the kids. It's just all so...crazy.
Anyways, spring break was crazy! The kids didn't get to go anywhere but we headed out to Texas for job interviews. Here's our break:
Day 1; went to the park. Bianca's friends were there and she got to play with them, which was super fun for her. And Cameron is getting more bold on playgrounds and climbing up high things now, woohoo!
The kids stayed with grandpa at home and we went to Fort Worth for a couple of days. I had 2 interviews, one for a theatre position (AHHHHH!!!) and another for a special ed, which is probably what I'll end up teaching while waiting for a theatre position.
We saw a Mormon Trail, haha!
Best queso ever!!!
house with mirrors everywhere lol
The next day I went to my Uplift interview ready to go! I thought the lesson went really well and the kids were totally into it. We talked about being a good audience and we acted out a quick story. Then they took me back and gave me more questions to answer. I got the most awkward question EVERRR though!! It was something about how I'm white and the kids are not and how I'd make that work. Bah!!! That was the only bad part though. Fingers crossed! I really want to teach theatre soooo badly!!
Micah spelled March?? What??
Our students picked a continent for our school's fun night. We got Antarctica, woohoo! They had a lot of fun researching this continent.
Bloopers first and then the film:
RIP Selena
BTW I did not end up getting that Uplift job. I was SO sad. But I got an interview with Keller Fine Arts and they recommended me for the Elementary and Intermediate theatre pools, HOORAY!!! Even better in my opinion!! Fingers crossed!!!!
