When it rains, it pours

in a good way this time.  As some of you know, I was recently asked to increase my time at the International School for next fall.  I don’t know of my exact duties yet, but it will be divided between administrative and teaching.

Then yesterday I received an email from the head teacher and manager of the Mother Tongue teaching group.   I had subbed for two of the teachers in the past and also worked on their website for a while.  Sadly, the preschool teacher announced she was leaving at the end of the term.  The children absolutely adore her and her lesson plans are exceptional for a two hour/week class. 

Imagine my surprise (and delight) yesterday to receive an email asking if I might be interested in the position?  I was thrilled and accepted the offer.  So, in addition to working at ISI during the week, I will also teach Mother Tongue on Saturday mornings for the 4-6 year old group.  I know many of them from subbing, so it should be a  fairly easy adjustment.  We don’t yet know whether Kelsey will attend or not (as she may not need it), but she is quite excited to tell everyone that I will be teaching "her" Mother Tongue class next year!
