A month ago, I was asked by my principal to loop to third grade with my class for next year, so I packed up ALL of my stuff and moved to our 3-5 building. Amazed at how much junk I acquired over ten years, I cleaned out as I packed. I threw away a ton of stuff and sent home a ton of stuff! My kids were thrilled to take home posters about money and telling time. I'm sure their parents weren't quite as thrilled because my clutter was now clutter in their homes, but I was happy to clean out!
Less than a week later, my world was turned upside down in the best way possible! In less than a week, I interviewed and was offered an Instructional Technology Facilitator position at another school in our county. This year's class has been the best of my ten years and I am so sad that I can't loop with them, but this is my dream job! Although I'm super nervous about the unknown, I am thrilled and cannot wait to start on this new adventure!
So now, I'm back at school, unpacking, cleaning and repacking. I'm not bringing a lot with me because I won't have my own classroom. My sister's coming to get what she wants and the rest... well the rest is being left behind for the young teachers! Being the pack rat that I am, it is very hard to leave stuff behind, especially, the awesome things I've gotten for my classroom through DonorsChoose donations!!
I feel like this new job will give me the time and the ideas for more blogging!! So get ready, but first a little time at the beach!
To get a sneak peak of some things I'm hoping to try this year in my new job, check out my Technology Tidbits Pinterest Page
PS. I'm also a guest blogger over on Fractus Learning now. Check out a couple of my posts.
