Yesterday I received my official paperwork stating that if all things go as planned, in the fall I will be a second grade teacher at LWS. Is it possible to be incredibly sad and incredibly happy at the same time? That is exactly how I am feeling right now. I am filled with anticipation for the challenges ahead, but desperately want to cling to my third grade ties - I love my team, I love the curriculum and I love my third grade students. Even though I feel that way, part of me is tingling with excitement - I am excited by the prospect of working with a fabulous new team of teachers, I have already checked out the second grade curriculum and am fascinated by the concepts and skills I will be teaching and I know several first graders and first grade families that I am hoping (with fingers crossed) will be assigned to my care come August.
Happily, I am a person who embraces change - I love to learn and am never content to stay in one place for a long time. I also know that in order to grow I must step outside of my comfort zone and take a leap of faith, so here I go - just watch me grow!

as a loyal follower of 3c is the place to be, I will continue to follow the journey into second grade. Good luck!
I think it's perfectly right to be sad and happy. I think it's a good thing to be sad in the face of a chapter ending, because if you are sad, it means you lived it right. You must properly mourn the end of a well-written chapter in order to face the fresh page ahead.
Cute blog-LOVE the polkadots!
It'll take some practice, but I think I will enjoy saying 2C is the place to be! :D
I thought you were a third grade teacher
