The happiest place on earth continued...

A lot has happened since my last post. I spent Valentines Day with my first graders and I got plenty of chocolates and hugs that day :) I also woke up to a Valentines Day gift outside my bedroom door from my wonderful host family :) Here is a picture of the goodies that I got from Valentine's Day here in Celebration.



Teaching here in Celebration is fantastic! I really like my mentor teacher and my first graders are so adorable! No matter how tired I am going to school each morning, they always brighten my day when I see them because they always find a way to say and do things to make me laugh. First graders say the funniest things ever! I am teaching the entire day now and it is very exhausting but such a rewarding experience. I am learning so much by teaching the entire day.

Last Friday we had the day off from school because it was Rodeo Day, so we spent the day at Cocoa Beach. It was a great day to go to the beach and we really enjoyed laying out in the sun. It was a great stress reliever from a long week of teaching. We even enjoyed doing handstands and taking tons of pictures by the water :)



Then on Saturday we spent the day at Disney. We went to Animal Kingdom and Epcot. Animal Kingdom was so crowded but we got quite a bit done that day. Then we ate lunch and spent the rest of the day at Epcot. Epcot is my favorite disney park. They have many different rides and they also have countries that you can visit in the park. Amanda, Vanessa and I took a picture in each of the countries as we took a journey around the world. It was such a great time! Then we watched the fireworks and laser light show at Epcot and it was incredible! The fireworks were such a magical experience. I had such a great day at the disney parks! I can't believe we are leaving Florida in 9 days. This six weeks has gone by so fast, and I am so grateful that I had such a great experience here. I am excited to see what these last nine days in Florida bring :)
