By now, on the downward slope of this journey, you would expect our schedules to be routine by now, the faces familiar, expectations known. Basically, I should feel comfortable with day to day life.....WRONG.
I had become comfortable. The faces were familiar. My schedule routine. I knew what was expected of me. Then, I got the exciting news that I was moving up to year 4 during afternoons until further notice. Not a huge deal, except I was bummed that I had to miss topic work (which so happens to be chocolate right now..how cool!). And then....today I was told that not only was I to be in year 4 all day now, but it is going to be until the end of the year. To be honest, I'm a bit bummed that I have to just leave MY kids, that I had been with ALL year, and I wasn't likely to be working with them anymore!
It's kind-of like the saying, taking two steps forward, one step back. I was finally starting to really enjoy myself in year 3! But here I am, learning names all over again. Learning a new routine. Getting acquainted with new teachers. Going through all the awkward stages of being a newbie..but on a smaller scale than 7 months ago. (:
Year 4 has so far been enjoyable though. So don't think I'm just grumping around about this new situation. I've decided to be open-minded and optimistic about it! Already I'm beginning to really enjoy my year 4 students! And!...My year 4 teacher gave me a gift today! Because...did you know? ...today is World Book Night 2012! If you are a book-lover like I am, and haven't heard of it, look it up! I had never heard of it until today, and already I think it is WAY cool! The books on the list are all pretty stellar too (from the ones I've read at least).
So yes, I had some bad news, but I'm still in good, happy spirits. Maybe I'm just becoming a happier person. Maybe it has a wee bit to do with the fact I have some visitors coming soon(; Who knows? Who cares? Not I! (:
Also before I forget..It is someone's birthday this next week! So as I close yet another blog post, I would like to send some love to my Grandpa. Love you with alllll my heart! Stay cheerful(; And I miss you like crazy!
All my love
