Greetings,
Not a full post (sorry), just checking in to say that I am alive and well, or as well as can be expected. I told Courtney today that I'm actually starting to really like my kids; however, there have been some *definite* bumps along the road, and there will be plenty of incredibly frustrating memories to choose from when I do a real update.
I will say this, though: our principal told us today that he's going to have to let one teacher go by the end of the week. Apparently, the order comes from the school district. He didn't say who, he didn't say which grade level, he basically didn't say anything. Will it be me? I don't know. There are arguments to convince myself it will be and assure myself it won't, so needless to say I'm a little on edge until Friday. Best case scenario: No one on the fifth grade team is fired. Worst case scenario: I'm transferred to another school in the district. Or fired outright. I can't decide which would actually be worse.
In better news, there's a dance on Friday. Let's hope I'm in good spirits and able to attend as a staff member...
Will keep you posted. Until then, happy thoughts!

Knowing you as I do, it's hard for me to believe you might be the one "voted off" (worst case scenario)! I can understand how you must feel. Maybe this is just a test?! Every cloud has a silver ining, and if you are the one to leave, surely another opportunity awaits! I'm sure you'll be at the dance as a staffer! :)
Love you!
