I have to admit I was worried. We got a new principal and decisions about what grade we were teaching wasn't decided until this week. Well, he might have decided before this week, but we didn't find out until we went in for a meeting with him. Some teachers are meeting with him today so, in theory, we all should know by the end of today. A few teachers are away and did theirs through email, so I don't know if they know or not.
I am still teaching 5th, yea!!! Our team shrunk from five teachers to four. We haven't been just four teacher since the first year our school opened. Each year our grade level changed in number and teachers, but three of us have been there since the beginning. Once we knew for sure it was us the text messaging started.
We team teach so we started texting ideas of how to do it. I think we've come up with a good plan, now to run it by the new principal. So far, he has been very receptive to our ideas so hopefully he'll like it. Not that we have a final plan yet, but we are putting the ideas together.
Now that I know what grade I'm teaching, once again yippee, and my team is roughing out a plan I feel like I can get working. Honestly, I was a bit stuck. I wanted to move forward and plan,which I did a lot of in June, but once July rolled around I started to wonder. I wondered if it was worth doing all the planning and then find out that I was moving grades. Also, since I wasn't sure if he would let us continue team teaching, he isn't really a fan, I started getting math and science ideas since I haven't taught those. Now, I am excited to get started working on the upcoming year. Ideas are just rolling around in my head.
Of course, it's still July and I consider it the one and only really month of vacation, so I'm trying to restrain myself until August. Not sure if it'll work or not. :)
