Only 28 days left of school... not that I'm counting or anything.... I can totally tell it is the end of the year- spring is in the air, my students ALWAYS want to have class outside, and we are all more than ready for a nice long break- also known as summer break!!
The past few months have been pretty stressful with the economy taking a dive and everyone- including teachers- being totally stressed about having and keeping jobs. My school had to surplus 5 teachers because of boundary changes and being a first year teacher, I have been on edge not knowing if I would have a job next year. Friday morning I was in the office meeting with a parent and when I was done my principal pulled me aside and told me that "as of right now she has a schedule for me" for next year!! I was so excited. She told me I would probably have to "stretch" what that means exactly, I don't know. I'm guessing that either I will be teaching 7 class periods instead of the normal 6 (which would be nothing new to me, I've been doing that all year) or I will be teaching 5 different subjects (again, this would be nothing new to me- hell, I can make up a new curriculum in 1 day!) In either case, I am excited to stay at my school. It has been a crazy year but I have loved it!
A few weeks later, the couple got married in Ogden. It was pouring rain which made for an interesting experience but at the same time, it was a lot of fun! And I'm pretty happy with the outcome!
