My New Job: IDEA Public Schools

Recently, I started my first job! I actually had my first day of work on August 21, but my onboarding process (getting fingerprints and paperwork done) was not complete so I had to take a break and finish that before I could work more. Now, on Friday, September 1, was my second day of work and hopefully tomorrow will begin my first full week of work. As it says in the title, I work at IDEA Public Schools and I work as a lunch and bus monitor.

This means that I am supposed to monitor the children during their everyday-school activities such as walking the halls, getting water, going bathroom, playing at recess and, of course, eating lunch. I also guide children to the correct bus and then monitor them during the bus ride to make sure they aren't standing or fighting. So far, everything seems to be going well, although I have yet to actually monitor a lunch. 😁 This is because monitoring lunch and taking Pre-K students home on the bus fall around the same time, so I usually end up on a bus instead.
I have also spent a little time helping the Health Aid and the front desk workers. Of those two jobs, I definitely prefer the Health Aid's helper position, because I am not good at greeting people. To help the Health Aid, I do paperwork and file information, stay in the office when she's not there, or guide students to and from the classrooms to the office after they are helped. All in all, I really like my new job and I hope it will help me gain some helpful skills in life. I hope you enjoyed this post, and if you did, feel free to leave a comment below or on Facebook.

Monday Meatloaf

So, on Saturday I gave you a simple baked potato recipe that goes great with a lot of dishes. One recipe that we tried it with was Alton's meatloaf recipe. Click the image to enlarge. There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Saturday Sweetly

Every Saturday there is the task of cooking the yummies for the weekend. Sometimes it will be a savory meal, like pasta salad, and sometimes it will be the sweets, like cheesecake or pies. However, every week I try to find time to help Mom cook in the kitchen, at least for an hour or so. I helped her today with the sweets for the weekend, and every Saturday I help I will share the recipe(s) of the day. Today, we made a peach pie with a crumble topping, and some home made zucchini quick bread. We started with the pie, because it could cook while we prepared the bread. For the pie all you need is a pie shell and peach pie filling, and for the crumble topping all you need is one stick of butter (1/2 cup), a package of graham crackers, and 1/2 cup of sugar. You can either place the pie filling in the pie, then work on the crumble, or vice versa. Just make sure to preheat your oven to 425ºF. (We made the crumble first.) To make the crumble, you Read More...

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with sn...
