After telling Sister Sandra that I needed more resources for high school, she decided to offer me a different position! She realized (with my help) that I never wanted to teach the high school. Since I was originally hired to teach 5th grade, I'm happy to report that I'm now coteaching with a young, Teach for America teacher and also serving as a coach. I'm using my experience with small groups, differentiation, and special education to help teachers instruct their students using best practices.
Community life is still going pretty well. We've started watching documentaries together a few nights a week. I really like it because we're all learning about new things and can discuss our responses to it, too. Our dinner situation is quite hilarious. We currently eat a lot of rice, beans, spaghetti, and vegetables. Basically, we rearrange those ingredients every night to make something new. It is good and pretty healthy. The funny part is that most of us have large sweet teeth/tooth/s (I don't know). Sophie and I made a yummy vegan cake and Scott's made delicious peanut butter cookies. We're quite lucky!
