Back to the Grind

I must say, writing this post feels like a difficult task. I loved hearing feedback this summer, but I didn't realize how many people were keeping up with us! Pressure is on! ; ) 

I had an incredible summer!!! Family, friends, food, drinks and of course..
the beach : )
Now we're back in Kuwait. I'm teaching first grade this year-still all boys. I never thought I would end up teaching a primary grade, but I love it!! And I have a really sweet class!

I'm really blessed this year! I have great kids, a collaborative and motivated grade level team, understanding and hardworking administration and an awesome TA!!! I think any fellow teacher understands that all of these rarely line up so well! 

As I've mentioned before, I live in an apartment building that only houses teachers from ACA. This year, I live on 4th floor with our friends. It's like a college dorm again, but instead of talking about studying for tests we're talking about making tests. Just one more reason why it's going to be a great school year!! 

Oh, and have I mentioned the travel??  We leave for Nepal in less than a week! 



We'll be doing a foot hill trek up Poon Hill. 
Fun fact: 
Mt. Mitchell (highest peak in NC) elevation: 2,037m
Poon Hill elevation: 3,210m

Yikes!! I'm used to sea level : ) But they say it's a nice hike through villages and up stone stairs-exhausting, but nice.

I'll update when we get back!
