I made this last night. I am so excited!
This will go above our agenda (which I plan to put
in a pocket chart). It goes along with one of the
7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Be an opener of doors for such as come after thee. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Professional Development
I went to a professional development training on Thursday and will also attend one on Monday (tomorrow) and one on Tuesday. To say that I felt completely at home would be an understatement. I was welcomed and literally laughing about 5 seconds after arriving. I am so excited for what this year brings!
I met four of my five teammates on Thursday. They are AWESOME! I had actually already met one (the team leader) at the interview and had emailed/spoken to on the phone another teammate. They are all so nice and funny and seem to truly love their jobs. I am so excited!
I realize that this job is different than the one I just left and has many different requirements. There are many challenges before me, but I am excited for the challenges! I say, "bring 'em on!" I can do this. I am ready and willing and excited to do this!
Third grade will be different, but I will be teaching workshop style (which I LOVE) and am already getting things organized and ideas flowing for next year. I will have a little more freedom about how I want to teach things and will be able to write my own lesson plans. I am a little nervous about writing my own plans, but am also excited about getting to plan everything on my own. I also know that these great ladies will be happy to help me and I know I will get through it.
All that being said, I know I am going to really miss my team last year. I will miss my kids from last year. I hate that I will not get to see them grow and change. I hope that next year I will be able to have that experience with the kids I have this year. We shall see.

The Thing about a Job Is...
The thing about a job is that jobs come and go.
I was let go from my school this year due to budget cuts. However it all worked out because I now have a new job teaching at a school closer to my house.
Last year I taught second grade and this year I will be teaching third grade. I am excited and nervous and have tons to do to prepare for this coming school year!
