I'm Around...

[yonkyu]

I'm here just been busy with work and the two day long trainings for the new school year!!! Yay!!! Not so much. It's pretty much the same information we go over every year. This time there are some updates and a few changes but nothing that will affect us much. The major new things we are learning is a new curriculum and a program for family engagement called Ready Rosie. I have yet to explore the family engagement program since I've been trying hard to complete home visits to complete updated paperwork for the children like we do every year. I will get the other two I need to get done soon and hope the parents will not cancel on me again. Another thing we did was an attack shooter simulation practice and it was quite interesting, to say the least. I was shot twice (Pretend) and the last time I was not. I have a brick and hide until I thought it was safe to head to home base, but you can die even at home base, which is the safety zone. So, yeah it was an interesting training. But, it got me thinking about the main building I'm in on a daily basis. We are a very vulnerable center and most of us would not survive. We have multiple windows they could look in and take us out before we even know it depending on what we are doing in the classroom. So, it is quite scary, but I will not go down without a fight, and I will not let anything happen to the students in my classroom. Even if something did happen I would carry their body to safety. So it will be interesting to know how we should safely leave the building with the children.


On a better note, I have completed two weeks worth of Body Boss. The work out program I talked about in a previous post. It is a combination of stretches and exercises that work the entire body. I can say that my legs are sore and the muscles are getting stronger. I feel the muscles moving, tightening and toning every day. I even do my karate class throughout the program too. So that I'm still getting my exercise. I do like the stretches because they are very common and I do them at karate too, so that helps out too. The exercises are familiar to me but there are others that I do not know very well. There are exercises that involve jumping and each exercise has a certain number of reps throughout the day I am working on. I have to say it's not as easy as it looks but I feel quite proud of myself for my accomplishment of completing two weeks worth of the program!!! I am not have lost weight yet, and I have cut my soda out quite a bit and been drinking more water and ice tea.


Also on another note, I will be away this upcoming weekend. I'm heading to the NJ Con with my friend and her niece, it shall be a fun trip. I was curious to know if anyone here was going to the con or not. I thought we could meet up and chat. I love meeting new people and talking about Supernatural!!! Just PM me and let me know!!!
