I have been working this week on packing up the past 7 years of my teaching life into boxes and let me tell you, it is sad! I have accumulated quite a few things and I don't know what to do with it all!!!! I went over to my new school where I will be working as an Instructional Facilitator and I am really excited. Everyone I met was super nice and didn't seem to mind (at least I didn't notice) that my experience is upper grades and I am moving to a primary K-2 school. I even got one hug! I haven't finished packing up even though workdays are over, so I will back at it next week.
Are you guys moving to Common Core? We have summer trainings next week to look at how we are going to implement it next year. I am excited about moving into the CC because I feel it will level the playing field for those students and schools who struggle because of their family involvement. Hopefully after next week I will actually be able to enjoy my summer vacation!
Congratulations Lori!! We are moving to CC this year also. It's kind of up in the air for me. Right now our curriculum doesn't completely align with the standards so we are going to have to fill in the gaps. In the end, I'm sure it will be a good thing. Good luck with moving schools! I know you'll do great. :)
