OFF TRACK!

Yes, for the next 2 weeks I am off track! I am so excited! One my first day off today, I really didn't do much, which was VERY nice! I just hung out at home and did a little shopping and tended Scott and Kim's little darlings... I do need to get going on planning for when I get back on track because I am going to California with my friend Sally next week! We are going to visit our darling and wonderful friend Tanya, who lives there and just relax. We are going to try to get on the Price is Right and go to Six Flags too. Neither of us have done those, so it will be a blast!

Anyway, I thought I would also give you a little update on the whole job situation next year too, if you haven't heard. I WILL be able to teach 4th grade next year! YEA! I was soooo relieved when my principal told me... hopefully I will be staying on the same track, but at least I get a chance to change a few things for next year and do some things better! My mentor teacher, in 4th grade right now, is moving up to 6th grade though, so I am sure another teacher will have to get hired for that position... Also, I feel bad because the 2 6th grade teachers that I was talking about last time are going to different schools so that they can teach 6th grade. I am sad that they are leaving, but at the same time I am happy, because if they would have chosen to come and teach 4th grade, I would have been "bumped out". All I can say is that I must be staying in the 4th grade for a good reason or else I would have been gone! I am so grateful for this! Also, I am grateful that my 2 new students that I got are doing well in my class, and their parents are a lot happier with the situation, so that is going good...it is just a lot more work keeping track of 2 more students!

Well, not much else going on, so I will have to let you know how the trip goes when I get back!
