I am going back to school, but this time... I will be the teacher! I got a teaching job at Enoch Elementary teaching 5th grade. Now, those who know me well, know that I am more used to teaching younger grades, like Kindergarten, but I am really excited to have this job. It will challenge me in more way than I probably realize, but I am up for the challenge and totally excited for it! I actually got the job at the end of May. (Hey you know that I am not good at staying up on my blog) :)I have been able to be in my room since the 1st of June. I am working with 3 other fifth grade teachers and they are awesome! They have been so helpful! My classroom size is 20 students! I will probably get a few more , but I am so lucky to have a small class! I feel so lucky to have gotten this job, since they were not supposed to have any jobs open this year.
The one bad thing about getting this teaching job is that I had to leave StoryTellers Club. Last Thursday was my last day. : -( However, everyone there was so supportive of me getting this job. Thanks you guys! I miss not working with you! Thanks Kim, for encouraging me to apply for jobs and go for my dream.
My whole family has been so supportive of me. Especially Carl, I think he might have been more excited for me than I was. He has been such a good support. Thanks babe!
Well, I am working on getting lesson plans put together and everything else that a teacher has to do to get ready for school. I will post pictures of my classroom when I finally get it put together.

Congratulations! 5th grade is a good age....so I've heard. I completely understand the stress of a new teacher trying to put together lesson plans, organize the classroom for the first day of school, etc....But, you WILL grow in so many ways. It really brings the best out of ya. Good luck! Can't wait to hear fun stories.
