I started a new job this school year as an elementary math resource teacher. I work with the first and sixth grade teachers at my school to plan and teach lessons to their classes, understand the math they are teaching, and help them learn new teaching methods. I also sometimes work with small groups of students who are either ready for advanced work or need extra help. It has been interesting learning how to help people change their teaching, but I really like my job, my co-workers and the students I get to work with. The students I work with are nearly all learning English as a second language and are also nearly all living in poverty so it can be really sad to learn about the struggles they face at a very young age.
Some things we have been up to lately are:
Growing a garden
Touring some European embassies
