I have really grown to love my kinders. I don't think that teaching at that grade would be the best fit for me, it certainly isn't my first choice, but I am not overly opposed to it anymore. Although the kids drive me nuts at times, they really do have a special place in my heart. I am going to miss seeing them laugh everyday. It is going to be a challenge to get back into the subbing routine again.
A chubby kid in my class that always dances told me that his new profession was a spy then he trotted away dancing a crazy Lady Gaga dance. I don't expect to get that action in any other grade.
I received letters from Upland and Etiwanda stating that I will be rehired for the next school year as a sub. SO if I don't get hired on full time as a credentialed teacher somewhere, at least I know I will be subbing next year. I joke that one of the third grade teachers at Solorio needs to get pregnant so I can be her long term sub. I'll keep praying that a full time job will open up for Matt and myself in the local area though. That would alleviate a lot of stress.
Family members always ask me what I want for my birthday, so aside from wanting to see your happy faces, here are some ideas: Children's Books (for all reading levels), white board markers, bulletin board borders, or a themed book from this website: Click Here- Classroom Couture, and of course cold hard cash or gift cards are always appropriate... =P
If you are a teacher and/or a parent, in Upland off of Foothill and just East of Central, there is a Goodwill Bookstore with a TON of children's books as well books for teens and adults. Books are super cheap. My grandma introduced me to the store and I LOVE it! Check it out.
