Dear Friends,
All of January and February my blog would not open. I was so sad not to be able to communicate with all of you. Other people could get to my blog, but every time I tried it told me the link was broken. Today it opened and I am so excited.
Our cold winter with all the snow is coming to an end hopefully. Today was a beautiful spring day and I even had to take my coat off walking home. All the snow has disappeared and the mud puddles have all dried up.
This week is Dr. Seuss week and tomorrow I am dressing in my Cat-In-The-Hat costume and going to spend the whole day doing activities from some of Dr. Seuss's books. Then we are going to make green eggs and ham. We all have hats and tails to wear, so it should be pretty wild.
Our school population and staff have started to dwindle. We started with almost 40 students and now we are down to 23. Marc lost his students and moved to another QSI school, Mike moved back to USA, and now Nilofer is leaving for India. So Nick and I will be the only teachers left beside the director and his wife. It is so sad to be losing my students. I have six now, but was so happy with my original 11 students. There are some great things about only having six students, so I will not complain. I still am loving my job. A friend asked me why I loved my job so much and the answer is that the preschool program has a curriculum that I follow, but I add all the things that I think are developmentally appropriate for 3 and 4 year olds and have a blast! I also am so loved here by the administration. My director tells me every day when he walks into my room that nobody could pay him enough to teach my class. He just has alot of respect for me and it is such a difference than the feelings I've had in my past. The parents are great and supportive which makes all the difference in the world. And I find that I just love teaching the little ones.
I'm going to sign off now before this whole thing gets lost. I sure hope that I will be able to get back on this blog soon. I'll send some pictures. Love, Rachel

Your post brought tears to my eyes. I am so glad that your loving your job. It makes me so happy knowing that your administrator shares my point of view. You are an amazing teacher and deserve all the respect in the world. What a lucky bunch of 3 and 4 year olds to have you as a teacher. ((hugs)) Kathi
