It has become our routine that while I take a shower and get ready for the day, Reuben hangs out in his papasan seat. Reuben’s papasan has an extension with a mirror on it that comes up from the side and over his head. Today I noticed that Reuben was paying attention to his reflection and he was actually quite enjoying it! I grabbed my camera and was fortunate enough to catch a video. About 15 seconds in, you’ll notice him see his reflection and get really happy.
Tonight I graduated from NSU-BA as a Master of Education with an emphasis in Reading. Upon the completion of one more independent study class this summer and the passing of the certification test (to be taken in July), I will be officially certified as a Reading Specialist. So…if you know of any student who needs a little extra help with reading, send them my way! I absolutely LOVED the Reading program at NSU-BA. I would recommend it to ANY teacher. I learned SO many strategies that were easy to apply immediately in my classroom. The professors in this program are WONDERFUL and so SUPPORTIVE. The graduation ceremony was terribly BORING and LONG but my family and Nick’s family were very gracious and stayed for the whole thing.
Reuben Mac was there to support his Mommy!
Rachel made a HUGE sign to show her support.
