It's Auntie Christy!

Baby Lexie was born last Tuesday, the 2nd of September. She was 6lb. 12 oz. and 19 in. long. She is so tiny! I went up to Bountiful after school to see her that day and when I held her, it was like her eyes took up her whole face! She is the smallest baby my brother Scott and sister-in-law, Kim have had! I have not been able to see her since then, but hear she is doing great, and so is mom.

I would have to say that that was the highlight of my week! The rest of the week, last week went okay. I am getting more into the "swing" of things and I do enjoy the students I have. They are all so great! I just have a few challenges with a boy that is ADHD (the "stare into space" kind) and really cannot focus on his work and getting it done. He is also a little behind in reading, so I am having to work with him to build up his fluency in reading. There is also a girl that does not turn ANY homework in. She is sweet, but has social behavior issues and is behind in reading as well. So, this week I am trying out a contract with her to see if the incentive will help her with her behavior issues. Other than that, it is just the continuous struggle of planning, preparing, and correcting papers! I have wonderful aids that help me out with a lot of correcting and other paper work though, so I am lucky to have them!

The week right now has been really good so far. The kids have lunch workers for the first time this year and boy were they excited about that! All of them wanted to do it, but I could only choose 6 names out of a hat. Who knew that being a lunch worker would be considered fun! I can imagine that they aren't that excited to help out at home! I think they are so excited because they get to go to lunch early and get out of class work. :)
