Hey, everyone! Just a quick note to give you an update and post a video. I've had a really great week at my new job. Everyone is so friendly!...it's like being in Disneyland. I'm a bit overwhelmed with beginning organizational tasks but anticipate that I'll be feeling really good in about a week. The kids and teaching environment are great! I really like the district model they have set up to include so many of their special education students in regular education settings.
I'm so grateful to also say that I have been feeling really prepared in the job based on the things I have learned in my masters program in combination with the things I already knew from my Special ed degree. Additionally, I took my AEPA (Arizona teacher test) for early childhood over the weekend and felt really successful. It is so great to have that out of the way. Whew!
Here's a pretty cool video that I think you will appreciate. This was one of my favorite songs when I used to do Jr. High Youth Ministry. I like how it includes everyone! "Breathe Deep" by Lost Dogs:
Also, not sure who is/isn't following the healthcare reform topic but I really liked President Obama's weekly address this week. Here's a link (click) if you're interested.
Have a good week everyone! Jess

Hey, i've never seen that Lost Dog video before, or even heard the song. I'm going to go over and see if i can find it on YouTube to put onto my myspace.
Great to hear an update of your first week. So good to hear you're right where you need to be.
