I decided to move schools after being at my current elementary school for the past 5 years. It was such a hard decision, but I felt like it was time for a change. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I feel like the people that I worked with were like my second family. Especially, the fact that this is the only school I have ever known and started my career with, I was a little heartbroken on Friday when I left. I looked a little like this ALL day on Friday!
But now that the move is done and over, I am excited for my new school and position. I am now going to be teaching 6th grade and it is not certain yet, but probably teaching language arts and social studies. WHAT???! I know, I love math and it feels so weird not teaching it, but I think the change will be good and it will be a good challenge for me.
I don't want to get too involved with planning just in case I end up teaching underwater basket weaving and science, so I am still kind of awaiting the final word before I dive head first into the curriculum and start creating things.
I am definitely going to need some help when the time comes so I help my fellow bloggers are up for the challenge! I know of a few 6th grade blogs, but not many. If you are one or know of one, give me a shout out.
P.S. I love summer time.
This past year I taught 6th grade spelling and English while the 6th grade teacher took my students (4th grade) for math.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the 6th graders. They're much more mature than my 4th graders...and they taught me a lot about what's going on in the world...6th grade music, fads, etc.
Good Luck
