Here I am preparing for a new school year. One of the most exciting parts of teaching in a small private school is the opportunity to change grade levels often. This year it looks as though I will be teaching grades K4, K5, and first grade.
At first the thought of adding first grade was rather scary but then I realized these are the same students I just said goodbye to in the spring. They are all great kids and I am looking forward to continuing on with them.
The K4 program will only meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays. K5 and 1st. will meet five day, all day. I am really beginning to like this idea! I am so thankful that my aid from the past two years has agreed to join me again. Having a second pair of hands is very important at this level!
As I research my upcoming school year and it's challenges, I have found very little support. Maybe I am just not looking in the right place. If you have any suggestions PLEASE share in the comment section. I have been teaching for 33 years and I feel like a first year teacher.
So, please join me as I embark on this new adventure. If nothing else, I now have a place to document all the great things that will be taking place.
