School! Ajo! Single Digit!

Its been awhile since i've wrote! I have been so busy with school and student teaching! Its been quite the experience but i'm loving it! The students are making progress and starting to have more respect for me and participating in in the activities more than they have before. I gave the students a survey on what they thought I should do to improve on teaching. Some of the things they put down were: More fun, less work, watch movies, let us hang out ect.. You can kinda get the point. The next day I asked them what activities we had done in class, the began to name them off then I told them that I thought they just take notes because they would never participate when we did have class activities. I then had them name the homework assignments (there has been 4, 3 of them I gave them class time to complete)  Then passed out their progress reports and showed them there grade and explained why it was important to do homework. They now are participating a lot better and almost half the class turned in their last homework assignment, which is a lot better than 3-4 kids! Its been a lot of work but worth it!

Its finally starting to cool off! We still spend most of the week in Ajo since both of us work down here. I actually really like Ajo. The people are super nice and they are more family oriented. We are now in the high 90's - low 100's but its super nice and you can stand to be outside! We take Izzy for walks and let her run around. She thinks she is some sort of hunting dog, its funny to watch her! I try to jog a little and walk to keep my exercise in but I cant really keep up with her and Glen!

Im officially in the single digit count down!!! Wahoo!!! Time feels like its slow motion but I only have a little less than 9 weeks left!! Hopefully 7-8! I wouldn't mind going a week or two early if he's healthy, but I don't want to go any sooner than that. (well I do, but you get what im saying) Im getting huge and am super uncomfortable. I cant sit for long periods of time, stand, sleep or be away from a bathroom. I swear if its not one thing its another. He is still moving a ton and has a thing with kicking me in the ribs and will kick a lot when Glen gets home from work! It's kinda cute! He also is making my stomach a little lop sided when he decides to stick his butt out! I already know he is going to be so cute, he already has a cute personality! So excited!

In our lovely trailer! Lol. Large and in charge! 31 weeks and 2 days!!
