So I found out on Thursday that I am changing grades next year! I am excited! I have been wanting to move back to grade 3 for years and haven't been able to, until now! I know that it will be a lot of work and teaching some of the same students won't be all roses, but I am so ready for a change.
I am excited about the Themes I get to teach, and how the students will become even more independent. I always feel sad at the end of the year when they move on, and I have to start all over with a new class. It's a lot of work getting them through the first few months! Now I get to keep going with a few of them, which will be fun.
I am looking forward to being organized from the get go, because I now know my organizational style and can put my units together so they function better for me (no filing cabinet!) and I can go through all my current stuff and purge!!! That is also daunting to me as I have A LOT of stuff.
I am really going to miss my team, as we work well together and we get each other's quirks. It will be interesting to see how my new team functions, what my place will be and how we will work together to make a cohesive unit. I know that two of my future colleagues are great, but one is a mystery (though I have my suspicions). I get to work with a great friend as well so that will be awesome!
All in all, I am pumped, but also sad to leave what is known and comfortable. I know that God is at work in this, so I can trust Him and know that he will give me the wisdom I need in this new adventure.
I may have to start a new blog, as My Grade 2 Adventure is almost over!!!
