Well . . . here we go again.
My classroom is slowly but surely coming back together again . . . after what I heard was summer. Seems a little strange since I don’t believe SUMMER ever really hit me. Of course, this isn’t all that surprising since I spent ¾ of my summer working on a district project.
Honored I was asked . . . yes.
Feeling a little pissed I was jipped out of a summer . . . double yes. (I see this even more clearly right NOW.)
Well, apparently now it’s on to my next challenge.
This past week I was asked to take on yet another project . . . our state superintendent’s newest pilot program on “looping.”
For those non-teachers out there, “looping” basically means (in my particular situation) I would teach kindergarten this year and follow my students to 1st grade next year, where I would continue to teach them. I would then go back to kindergarten the following year and start with a new crop.
Here again, honored I was asked . . . most definitely.
A little nervous to step outside my comfort zone and teach 1st grade . . . yeah.
I literally sat down will a pen and paper and wrote all the pluses and all the minuses.
Turns out my positives out-weighed my negatives and . . . it looks like next year I’ll be teaching 1st grade.
Hmmmm . . . wonder when that will hit me?

Our assistant principal tempted us to stay at SGE with looping! :) It will be a great experience!!
Good luck! And I promise I won't bash the new ELA pacing you were working on....just the idea behind it. But I LOVE YOU!! :-)
PS....are they going to have that road done before school starts? They need to get on it!
Believe me- we are trying our very best to limit this and make it NOT overwhelming for teachers. The point is to make everyone's life EASIER not more complicated. NO MATTER WHAT- keep that in mind!!
Apparently it WON'T be done! We got an EdConnect message last week about arriving early do to CONSTRUCTION!! I sincerely hope I don't have car duty!
