5 down, 2 to go

I just completed the 5th course in the series, Leadership and Influence. Next up: Developing and Managing Volunteers. I think this next one will be a little more relevant for me; as interesting as all the theories on effective leadership strategies are, I don’t have too many places to apply them in my life right now. I’ll file what I learned in that course away for future reference.

We dressed Wilbur the weather cat, made necklaces out of noodles, and read Clifford's Thanksgiving. They were learning the letter "n" and A-B patterns. While I'm definitely thinking elementary education as a certification, it's always fun to work with the really little kids. Tomorrow I'll be in elementary school again, as a special ed assistant again. I'm just happy to be working, and being willing to take special ed jobs anywhere makes it easy to get jobs as not too many subs are willing to do that. After tomorrow I'll have been in 9 different elementary schools out of 22 in Carroll County. Keeps me busy, keeps me on my toes.

I ran 9 miles last night and I'll run 10 on Saturday morning. Sunday morning I'm running the Jingle Bell 5k down in Baltimore, complete with jingle bells on my shoes. Yay.
