| SO, I haven't updated in forever. Let's see here. What is new. Uhm......24 students, no assistant (1st grade 19 of them boys). Have an interest in somoene. He is great. Things are good.....life is happening. Can't wait for Mardi Gras vacation/break in 11 days. Not that I'm counting. Have a great weekend everyone!! | | |
| Figured I would update, not too much going on. There are 9 days left of school  Not that anyone is counting. I decorated my apartment - it's really pretty. That's about it. | | |
| School is school......15 teaching days until Thanksgiving Holidays....30 teaching days until Christmas break.....but who the heck is counting????? The guys are outta Iraq...back home in Germany and will soon be back in the states for 30 days!!! | | |
| School has started. I have an awesome bunch of 2nd graders. They are so neat! It's really funny to watch them. I have ordered a new sofa and love seat. They will be here in the next 3 weeks. I am so excited! Things are really coming together in my apartment! I am also going to get a new dining room table and chairs. I can't wait! Pretty soon I will be able to have people over and have adequate seating!! So the title of my site right now is changes. What kind of changes you might ask? Well, I was informed today that the numbers at my school are low and that they need another first grade teacher at another school and the principal asked me to go. Well, I dont know that I was asked. I recieved a formal letter from our superintendent and it stated that effective Monday that I would be in a new school. TOTALLY sad. I am sad because I look forward every day to seeing my students from last year because they come and give me a hug every morning. I look forward to acting crazy to make my students in my classroom learn nouns. Sad because I will be leaving a familiar staff and very close friends behind. Leaving the familiar and going to the unfamiliar. I am very nervous about this. It is like having a first year of teaching all over again. I dont want to feel like I have gotten the short end of the stick, but there are moments when I can think of nothing but that. I just want to crawl into a hole and stay there for a few days, wake up and realize that all of this was a horrible dream. I can't stop crying because I'm upset that my students will have to be divided after building the friendships they have built and be put into another room. I am sad because the rapport that I have built with people at the school, students, and parents is just being boxed up for me to start all over and get another set of students. I am upset because I'm doing this all over again for the 2nd year in a row. I dont know what else to think. I know that God has mighty plans in store forme, and I am constantly having to remind myself of that because right now I'm freaking out on the inside. I keep thinking about my poor students, about how I dont think that I'm going to be very effective the next few days i'm at the school. I wanna run away for a minute......... | | |
| It's August 1!!! Happy Birthday Jabbo!! I hope that everyone has had a great past few weeks. Tyler has returned to Ramadi. Some close friends of his were lost in combat while he was here, but things seem to be ok with him. Ray is in FL with his mom. He just flew in there instead. School started back for teachers today, students on Thursday. We are still sucking it up at softball. My old roomie is moving to Indiana soon  I am going to go stay the night with her Friday night. It's going to be fun....I think. Not too much else is going on. Oh yea, I have curtains up in the apartment in every room but the spare room and I ordered an Ashley Durapella sofa in Sage Green on Monday.....very excited!!! I can't wait to get it! It's going to be so comfortable!! Hope everyone has a great week. | | |
