Crazy!
That's me. I'm completely crazy right now! I just found out that I am going to start the year as a first grade teacher at my kids' school. I will be a long term sub until they fill the position. Most likely the teacher will be transferred to another school but they won't know that until after the year starts. The principal said I should be there for a month or two. School starts on the 13th. I have so much to do before then. Not just getting my classroom ready next week but also a dentist appointment, a friend's lunchtime birthday party, getting uniforms ready for the kids, finishing the bathroom redo (that I started thinking I would have time when the kids went to school), and figuring out snacks and lunches for both kids instead of just 1! Grace will only be half day for the first 2 weeks so I have to have someone pick her up and keep for a few hours and then bring her back to me. I'll miss Gracie's official first day of school seeing her walk in for the first time but I'll be with her until the bell rings to go pick up my own class. Not to mention I need some clothes for working every single day! I am super excited to be asked to do this. I loved teaching 4th grade last year and now I get to go back to 1st grade where I started. The kids are excited also! Andrew loves that I will be at his school. Well, hopefully I can keep you guys updated on here. Next week will probably be crazy but maybe I can get on here and show you the progress with my decorating.

I know you'll go overboard on getting the classroom ready for the first day of school and will love every minute of it! Especially after school starts!
ReplyDeleteWill Gracie be in the same school?! It would really be a bummer if not!
Well, it will all work out if not. Have fun teaching this year, if only for a short time at the beginning! I know you'll be subbing afterwards also, but it's good that you get to start the year out, especially first grade!
Love ya,
Dad
