of course, there is always a downside. as with every year....you have a couple of darlings who have been advanced to the next grade under questionable circumstances. which leads your coworkers to accost you at your break with statements like "how did this child get to my class? they can't read anything?" to which you reply...i did try to hold this kid back. or...well, you should see the one i failed. or...now that they are on meds...give them a chance... anyways, you get my drift. it was a long day...lots and lots of talking. lots and lots of practicing things like going to your locker quitely, or raising your hand and then waiting to be called on before telling me about how the sprinkles on your poptart melted this morning in the microwave. (i wish i was joking)
but, thats enough. but for sure i am stressed about those numbers. texas state law says we must stay at a 22-1 raito in the Pk-3 classrooms. so if someone decided to split my class up in to the other two sections (those teachers have more seniority than i) then you would have two homerooms of 20 students each. that is not good news for me. also not good, all the english gen. ed classes are low. only our bilingual classes are on the full side. that doesn't look good for me to stay at my school this year. i won't know anymore until levelling..sometime after sept. 3rd.
arg. cause, you know lots of pricipals are happy to inherit cast-off pregnant teachers!!!
oh, and here are some pics of my room before and after the two days of work in there!
before
and after....
