I'm a Spanish Teacher

Who knew I'd ever end up being an elementary school teacher?  Not me.  I teach Spanish at my kids' elementary school for a couple of hours each week.  I have very small classes--just about 12 students total (including my 3 older kids).  I love it!  I think the kids in my classes are amazing and so cute, ranging in age from kindergarten to 5th grade.  I like being the one in charge, I like having such a neat space to work in, and most of all, I love seeing the kids gain a small Spanish vocabulary over time.  We play games, sing songs, make flash cards...and the parents pay me directly, which is nice for me : )  (I'm not actually hired by the school district, I rent the space from the school.  It's a nice little "extra income" for us).   I got this job in a funny way--I started out just as a parent with kids in the class; then I took on the role of parent program coordinator and I helped to hire the teachers when others stepped down; and then when one teacher quit mid-year, I decided to give it a whirl.  And now I'm doing it, and loving it!  I just wanted to share with you that little part of me, 'cause it's fun, and I for one am surprised and happy learning that it's something that I can do that I didn't know I could do.
