I'm so happy for you Wildflower! This sounds very promising. I did some of my clinicals in a school like that and it was very laid-back and low stress. My stress during that time was that I felt I couldn't give each child enough time (which would be different for the teacher or teacher's assistant) and I didn't know what my supervisor actually wanted of me. I really enjoyed it otherwise. I hope you will too.

When I've had to have my physical state I can lift 50 lbs they never actually had me do it, my dr. just signed off that I was in good health and able to do it. And lifting once you can probably do more than you can if it was repetitive. At the school they'll probably have you do heavier lifts like 50 lbs with 2 people as 50 lb people are a lot different than a 50 lb weight.

when do you start? It would have to be soon I assume.

I'm so happy for you!
