This week I'm gonna be packing up and moving all of my stuff to my new classroom across the parking lot.
One of the reasons I didn't post anything last week was because I was an anxious wreck and didn't want to give anything away until it was official. I had gotten a call from the principal of the elementary school on Friday, July 23 asking me if I'd be interested. I told her of course I would be. But then I had to play the waiting game of waiting for our school district's Human Resources department to call and officially offer me the job. I had to wait a WHOLE WEEK! Talk about nerve-wracking! But they did call last Friday while I was at a 5th grade Social Studies workshop.
Yeah, I spent a lot of last week going to curriculum workshops for 5th grade stuff as well, since I wanted to be prepared if (when) I got the call with the official transfer offer. Well, I'm off to see my new classroom today. I'm super excited because I am going into a 2-year-old building from a 45-year-old building! Better lighting, better space, cleaner, and I'm expecting a healthier environment for me. No more moldy, musty old school!
I'll keep you all updated on what's going on in the Great Classroom Move of 2010!

Congrats on the upgraded classroom and a new adventure this year!
Congrats again! :) I can't remember--what are you going to teach subject-wise?
Congratulations! I hope your happier with 5th graders! I know I'm sooo excited to be out of teaching middle school!
Wow, congratulations! I remember that you wanted to teach younger kids, so that's great (though they're not all that much younger, I guess). And the fact that you're in a new building will be especially nice. Good luck with the new kids!
Congratulations! Do you now teach a whole mess of subjects? I loved my 5th grade teacher...hope you're as epically awesome as Mrs. York.
Woohoo! Congrats on getting into a newer classroom.
My fifth grade teacher was one of the most memorable teachers I ever had. And he was a geek.
Which means you're pretty well on your way to being a kick-ass 5th grade teacher already :)
Congrats!! And best of luck with everything :)
