Some Things Never Change

Like the fact that I must move classrooms, grade levels and sometimes schools every year. Yes, I was expecting a new grade level this year but thought I would get to stay in my room. Well I should know better then to dare even play with that thought. I had my classroom basically ready to go for my 3rd graders, when Friday morning...yes the morning of my last day of prep...my principal gave us the bad news that someone would have to move to a K-1 Combo. Well he already had my name written down because, yes, even after 4 years I still have the least seniority on our staff. Oh well. So thanks to the help of my loving and kind family I was able to get my new room set up in two and half days and ready for my eager students. It's been an exhausting week and I was probably more relieved for this weekend than my students. Only 175 more school days.
