Volunteering at a Montessori School

So a little over a month ago I  started volunteering at a Montessori school.  I chose to do this in order to get some more experience that will help me out next year when my youngest goes to school full-time and it is time for me to jump back into the work force.  

It has been great.  I love being back in the classroom & forgot how much I enjoyed it.  I have been doing some one on one tutoring as well as teaching science workshops to small groups of kids for the last 5 years but there is just an energy that comes with a good classroom. 

My kids are excited for me too, which is so funny.  They ask about the kids at "my"  school.  They want to know what I do all day & what the kids are like.  I love their curiosity.

I am sure I will have many good stories, as well as many teachable moments & surprises that I will be sharing along the way.
