It's almost time (I hope!)

I am 38 weeks pregnant today! That means that hopefully baby Eli will be here in just 14 days!! I don't know how he is going to get any bigger. I am feeling and looking so huge these days.

I started work on Monday. We had 4 days of professional development and school starts on Monday the 25th. I am really excited about my classes. I have 2 IPC classes (Integrated Physics and Chemistry.) There are 10 kids in one and 15 kids in the other class. I am also teaching 4 sections of TAKS science and I have my smallest class (1st period) of 2 kids and my largest is 8 kids! My conference periods are together, which is nice because I can get a lot done during that time. Plus, then I have my lunch time right after my conference periods. This means that from 10:35-12:55 I will have no kids in my room. My classroom is......interesting. They put me in a section of the "old field house." It smells kind of musty and I have a partition between my room and the room next to me. To the back of me is the 7th/8th grade athletics, so it might get kind of noisy. It does have a full refrigerator and oven in it though. Also, it might be kind of nice to be away from the main building. I am a junior class sponsor (not by choice) so I guess I will have to help plan and put on the prom.

Kent's classroom is really nice. He is teaching 8th grade U.S. History and the middle school is the newest building. He is upstairs with an entire wall of windows. I helped him hang some posters on his walls and organize a bit and he helped me lift and move lots of things in my room. It's really nice to be able to spend some time together at school, especially now during football season, when he's not home much. They had their 2nd football scrimmage last night and there was a really good turnout of people there. It was fun to see Kent and Jeff on the field together. I am excited about the first game next Friday at Rogers. Hopefully I make it that long!

No news on the house....it's still on the market. We're hoping that the market will pick up again soon. The drive to Rogers is about an hour and as everyone knows, gas is not cheap.

I hope my next update will include pictures of baby Eli!!!

Love,
Sarah, Kent and Eli
