It's August?!
The summer has gone by SO fast, I can't believe a new school year is about to start! Speaking of which, my whole against going to 1st grade thing has totally changed. I actually think I'd be just as upset now if they told me they would need me in Kindergarten, I've been so fixated on 1st and hyping myself up for it. I've come up with many pros, and I'm really looking forward to it. I get a bigger classroom, one of the 1st grade teachers is my age and said she'll go shopping with me, and another teacher Anne has made up pacing guides I can use, so I can start looking into what I need to teach and when... Plus, I'll finally be recognized as a permanent classroom, with my own specials schedule. It drove me crazy last year having to split my kids off, and no one ever remembered the added-on K class, it was all about the original 5. It was horrible being the afterthought, like, oh, I only made 5, let me see if I have extras... No more of that!
