Most of my "Currently-deets" are self-explanatory. However, I must explain where I have been.
LOVING
Reason One:
Under a pile of work related emotions.
So, this year I was assigned to a new grade level.
Which I love!
But, with a new grade level, come learning new standards and new ways to teach. ALSO- Gone was my Math only life.
I am now teaching Reading.
Which I love.
But it can be hard juggling all subjects in a way that makes me feel like my learners have had time to get it.
Reason Two:
They made me change rooms.
After school had started.
Yup. And this year I had asked them 3 times because I had THAT feeling. And they said "No you are not moving. Then I had to.
[Insert annoyed emotions.]
But I was most upset because I had put so much time in arranging my room for the new grade level.
And they gave it to someone else. My new room was way smaller with less wall/bulletin space.
Bummer....then Tears....then Okay I got this
Then.....
I found out my new room had termites.

Terrific Teaching and Learning
Potato Bread? Homemade? I've never had it, but it's sounds wonderful! Donor's Choose has made such a difference for my students the past few years. Good luck with your project! Jen
ReplyDeleteEmerald, I LOVE your blog design and name it is so cute. I completely can relate about the million and one things that are running through my head, I kind of don't know where to start, lol. You have certainly been through a lot since the start of school. I hope things start to calm down for you. Have a great Sunday and Happy November! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the blogging world! I am hoping to mount a comeback here myself... I can totally relate to your situation. I changed grade levels this year too (5 grades in the last 10 years, all at the same school) but thankfully didn't have to switch rooms. I've done that mid-year-room-switch too and it's not fun. Good luck on your new teaching endeavors, and know that the blogging world is here for you!
