Imagine with me for a moment...
The Wedgwood School office crowded with teachers getting ready for the onslaught of children at 9:05. Quickly greeting those around me I walked into the office attempting to join the line of teachers copying last minute "activity sheets". Suddenly, I hear my name and look up as the principal says, "Mary, may I speak with you for a moment in my office?" Every eye in the office is on me and the other teachers slowly part like the Red Sea. What did I do?
It turns out that I hadn't done anything wrong. She asked me if I would be willing to move from teaching the kindergarten class to teaching the 4 and 5th grade split class for the remainder of the year. So, now I'm teaching a 4/5th class...
It's absolutely wonderful... ridiculously busy, though I am sure that you all are. They didn't tell us how to teach one class with two different grades. It's been an adventure- all five weeks of it.
Funny story from my short time with kindergarteners:
Kindergarten - Drawing Pictures on the First Day of School
Me: What is your picture about Moses?
Moses: Well... I'm trying to copy the essence of Dali.
Me: Um... like Salvador Dali?!
Moses: Yes. And I also like Pollock.
Hope that everything is going well for all of you.
