There are only 3 days left in my first full year of teaching...wow. There were some days that I thought the year would never end, and now I am filled with this weird feeling of both sadness and excitement.
I am SO excited to start next year. I will now be the lead language arts teacher for 7/8th grade and will also have a leadership position as the lead teacher for 6-8 team. I am SO excited to play such a huge role in my team, but also a little nervous. I know that this will be a TON more work than I had this year, and even less time to do it in, yet I still can't help but smile and feel a little giddy about getting all of these things that I have wanted for so long.
I am excited and nervous to send my current 8th graders off into the world of high school. I know that I have done my best with some, but others I was unable to work with because of scheduling so I wonder what will happen to them. I hope to keep it together at graduation and not get emotional saying goodbye to my first group of students. I will miss them...but also I know that I will love the breather from some of their behaviors :)
So here's to next year! New opportunities, new students, new responsibilities, new technology, and a new Ms. Simon :)
