they hired a new fourth grade teacher today. There are six kids leaving my homeroom to be in hers. My two other classes will also change, with ten kids leaving each one and 5 new kids coming in.
it's so lame that it's happening now, the fourth week of school. I feel bad for all the kids who have to get used to a brand new schedule.. it was already hard enough for them to adjust to this one.. they JUST got it down pat.. after three weeks. ay dios.
I'll also have to learn new names, make new name tags, new folders, explain our class system, arrange their curriculum folders, and set up special IEP's for any that need them.
lame.
:(
I'm losing some of my favorite students. like the one that taught me the Souljah boy dance. And several of the kids who get excited to sit with me at lunch and make me feel like a celebrity.. haha
the worst part is that we start on Thursday. it's so soon! I'll also probably have to call the parents of those that are leaving and tell them that their kid is moving classrooms. I know that won't be breezy.

On a more positive note, I started being good to my body again. I went to the gym the other day and I plan on trying to go at least three times a week. I want to have some muscles. I used to feel pretty buff after consistently going to yoga and pilates classes for 4 months. I want to get back to that. I hadn't been to the gym in 2 months before Saturday. totally uncool, yo.
I also made delicious baked goods yesterday. i want to give some to funk and healey but I don't know if I'll have time to do that today.
Then I had a good conversation with my mom after I got out of school.
i'm in a pretty good mood. i wish my blockbuster DVD's came in today. I want to finish up this tv series i got into.
