Well, I stand corrected. I am no longer going to be teaching 4th grade. I am no longer going to be at the school I have loved for the past 3 years. I have been fortunate to be retained by my current school district, but have been transferred to another school and I will be teaching ... 6th grade. I am extremely happy that I will continue to teach the curriculum I have grown into. The big difference taking place is my new school is not departmentalized in the 6th grade. So, I will have to adjust my thinking and planning to working with the same group of students every day and teaching all the subjects. I have mixed feelings on this issue. For the past 3 years, I have either taught ELA/Social Studies or Math/Science, but never all of them in one day to only 26 students.
So, my new adventure begins. I will dearly miss my small community school and my students I have loved and interacted with for the past 3 years. I will have to get accustomed to new surroundings, the expectations of a new administrator, and the climate of a new group of students. I am hoping to meet with my new principal soon so I can begin planning and gearing up for the 2016-2017 school year. I hope with this new opportunity comes with wonderful chances to make new and even more fantastic memories.
Let's see where this leads....
