Things have been very chaotic since I've last posted that I can seem to never find the time or the energy to ever post on here.
Right now, I'm proctoring yet another test. All the testing is so draining, I can't even imagine how my kiddos keep their stamina. Just last month many of them were involved in the HSGQE exam retake and now a majority of the same kiddos are participating in the Work Keys exam. I'm pooped with testing. Since moving up to highschool with my ELL "title", I have become one of the designated test proctors for the school. Due to the fact that I have my certification in K-12 ELL, I get to test all the ELL kiddos at Chevak school.
Last month I was sent on my first "training" for LEP (Limited English Proficient/ELL) Data and LEP testing. I was very nervous at first because I thought that there was going to be a TON of expectations for me to come back to Chevak with. I am also not comfortable or confident with anything that has to do with data so I was worried that most of the items that was going to be presented was going to be too confusing and overwhelming for me to understand. It turned out that the training was a breath of fresh air. Right away at the beginning they went over all the things that I studied, practiced and trained while I was in college. Everything was coming back to me and I was starting to feel confident in bringing the information back to Chevak. It was also nice because I was able to help my coworker that came with me, as she started to feel overwhelmed with all the information.
Volleyball is under way and that has brought along more work, stress and excitement to my already full plate. Last weekend we traveled to Hooper Bay (which was a first for me) and played in 5 matches. It was the girls' first game and it took them some time for them to get comfortable and work the kinks out. Once they started to get comfortable the really shined. We left Hooper Bay 3-2 and with a new respect for each other as a team. This weekend we will be hosting a small tournament here in Chevak with Kalskag and Hooper Bay. In the next weeks to come there will be lots of weekend traveling. It's an exciting opportunity for me because I'm getting to experience new places that I would never have had the chance to experience otherwise. It's also fun spending time with the girls and getting to know them better.
There are other things that I want to post but I'm going to do them separately. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as there are some things going on right now that are making things very stressful for me.
