a time of change...

My Uncle Bob always said... "If you want to see God laugh tell him your plans!"

So...

I went to school to close up my room and was given the opportunity to be the new Beginder-garten teacher!!

God had a plan for me to change that I didn't see coming! I am THRILLED! I taught Readiness Kindergarten for four years before moving to first grade.

Back to the classroom for me. Take down 1st and put up... Oh no!! I gave away my Kindergarten things. 

I get to start fresh! :) I have been scouring Pinterest and TPT. The shock has been replaced with hopefulness. I'm a little nervous, because when I taught RK it was for a 1/2 day. My new sweet littles will be coming all day!! And did I mention there are 21. Wow! I do get to have a foster grandma and some other extra help as needed.

When I made the move to 1st I was devistated to leave Kindergarten (like actual tears and sleepless nights). Change is hard and good. I am a better teacher for it. 

There are no tears this time, but a few sleepless nights. (It could be the buzzing of mosquitos in my ears keeping me up though!!) I think I am right where I need to be. I LOVED giving kids who are new to school an amazing experience so they want to learn. I am happy to have the opportunity again.

I always said teaching Kindergarten was like being the star of my own children's show. I LOVE singing, dancing, painting, and moving to learn. I did some of this in 1st, but not all day long!!

I think God (and Mrs. Wickham, my principal) knew what they were doing! While I was looking forward to being done for the summer, I am energized to be thinking creatively and planning for my sweet new 4 and 5 year olds.

I may take a break from blogging, as I did this week. My own sweet babies at home need me too. When I have things organized and ready to go... you'll be the first to know :)
