So it is that time of the school year where the principal calls you into the office and asks you what are your intentions for next school year..... so you must reflect on this school year. So my principal called me in last Friday.. looked me in the eye and said I can tell it's not for you! WOW! She noticed or did someone tell her. The week before two members of the administration team had asked me if I wanted to move back to 5th or stay in 2nd. Well of course I was honest and said I WANT TO MOVE BACK UP!
Well, I did tell the principal that I would love to be moved back to 5th grade, 4th grade, heck I would even try 3rd grade. I just can't handle the whiny, snotty kids! I love the sassy kids that .. how can I put this... I can joke with and they can joke back but you know it's all fun and play. These second graders take everything literally. UGHHH not for me!
I also maybe put my foot in my mouth because I said if she absolutely would rathe rme stay in second grade I would. I just had some request for her if she kept me there. I do admit... I love the fact that I am not pressured with the testing fact, higher order thinking is not as hard as if I am in the higher grades because these kids are still in the learning stage.
So no matter what happens I will probably still have to pack up my junk once again. I just hope I know early enough so I can start planning this summer. I want to be organized next school year. The crowded room must be organized. If I am in a butler building again next year, I am asking my father in law to make me some storage!
Pray for choice for me that will be great!
This is ray of sunshine for me! I had a really good teaching day yesterday! My students are working well as teams and the computer is their best friend. WOOHOOO! Hopefully it's another good day today! It is amazing what happens when one kid is not there!
I am feeling happy today.. hope it doesn't get ruined.

It is amazing how one child can make the whole mix different. How one child can be such a disruption you really feel you've accomplished something - they day they're gone. I have seen these kids... They obviously need special attention. Some are really smart too, they just can't sit down, shut up or do productive work alone! This is where you call Barbara Friedrichs at STAR (Vermilion Conference Center) and get her to send over a counselor to evaluate. Get some help for the kid AND your class, and maybe it will be better for everyone... One child I knew of like this was so disrupting it was like the other kids just watched interactions between this kid and the teacher all day. I hurt so bad for the teacher too. She put up with it until Christmas then another teacher tried and in ONE WEEK said, "Oh no, I am DONE WITH THIS!" which had to be validating for the first teacher! So he got special help and seems to be doing much better, and the class finally got to learn something.
I know you were just venting, you are such a good sport, but there really is help. I'm keeping you in my prayers and let me know when my dh can come read for you!
