Shout out time

Ten schools days have already passed. Too much time has gone by without me giving a special shoutout to the paraprofessional, Ms S., who is working in the classroom with me this year. She is supercalafradulisticexpeealadoucios! And I mean it! She was thrown into the position from a very different and possibly much quieter position elsewhere in the building. As last school year drew to a close, she made comments about not really wanting to have the classroom position and intending to use ALL of her accumulated sick time this year. So I was a little nervous at the start of the school year.

Ms. S. has shown up each day with a willingess to work hard and a sense of humor that gets me through some tough times. She has asked questions about the things she doesnt know and has truly risen to the occassion. She should have switched over to this type of position years ago. And the best part of it all? She said that she is surprised that she actually likes what she is doing. Go Ms S.!!!!!!

Hooray for competent and enthusiastic people!
