Well as I have said before, this has been a great school year but there have been some tough days. This was the first 5 day week we have had in quite a while. Going into this week, I had a feeling it would be a long week. Lucky for me, it went by pretty quick!
We had an all school field trip out to Nativity grade school on Thursday and then Friday afternoon, the middle school kids had a special presentation about Abstinence...so once Wednesday was done, I knew it was a downhill ride for the rest of the week.
I started off the week very anxious because I was scheduled to sign a contract for a new teaching position!!!! I heard from the new principal on Monday and we set up a signing on Tuesday. I was so excited to finally sign on the dotted line. It was hard to tell my fellow OLU teachers that I was leaving, but they all completely understood the reasoning for my move. I will be teaching middle school science at Sacred Heart in Shawnee next school year. NO math and NO religion classes...NO gift baskets for fundraisers, NO making up art lessons (when I am the LEAST artistic person I know), etc etc. It will be nice to focus on the subject matter that I wanted to focus on from the beginning. I have not told the students that I will be leaving but I plan on doing that Monday morning when they are all together in the cafeteria before school. Once I tell them, they may have lots of questions, but I will address those when they come to my room for class later in the day.
Next week is another 4 day week. It is hard to believe we are almost to the month of May! Yikes! Where did this school year go?!
