Mark has finally been given a classroom! He will be teaching 9th and 10th graders English in Newark, NJ. We spent a few days cleaning and organizing his classroom. We are hoping to get some desks & chairs in there before school starts. This school year will be exciting, difficult, fun, challenging & rewarding. I'm excited for Mark to have these experiences. We will have a lot to talk about and exchange many stories! I still remember my first year as a school teacher, WOW what an experience to say the least. My first day of teaching I ran home and cried for a while with my roommate who also had a hard day her first day as a teacher as well. I was fresh off the mission working at the state hospital teaching middle school boys they thought it would be nice to welcome me to the school by calling me every swear word in the book. I didn't know what to say or do. I was going to BYU learning how to be a teacher while teaching, and now Mark will have this glorious opportunity.
The girls love going to daddy's classroom
