Postion change at work

So, the last few weeks have been crazy with my job. If you didn't know I was informed that I was being moved to a different building 3 weeks before school was supposed to start. I was so frustrated and disappointed....I loved my school and the thought of being taken away from it was very difficult to bear.

Well, school started August 24th, and I began at my new school. I was not happy about it at all, but I was grateful it was still a job...especially in a time when so many people are without jobs. Although the teachers were very nice...it just wasn't the same.

Wednesday, September 2nd, I was eating lunch and the principal from my new building called me out and asked if she could talk to me. I was then greeted by my principal from my old building. They proceeded to tell me that they had an issue and they thought I could be of assistance. They needed to open up a new section of 1st grade. What had happened was that last year there were 4 sections of 1st grade, but since one teacher looped to 2nd grade with her same class...that left only 3 classes....there were about 27 kids in each class (which is way too many for 1st grade). I was asked to take the position, since it would be the easiest transition for the students being that I worked with most of them in Kindergarten last year.

So, Wednesday (that same day) was my last day at Avon, and Thursday and Friday were spent setting up my classroom. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful class at Prairieview!!! They are seriously like family. I was greeted and welcomed back by so many people!!!

I never could have gotten my room ready if it weren't for the help of my wonderful friends Vanessa, Mary, Ester, Rae Ann, Sue and of course my 1st grade team (Amy, Steph, and Cayla).

Tuesday was my first day with the kids. It was a little overwhelming, but I'm so excited!!! I have 17 students, of those 7 are my ELL students from last year...I only didn't know 5 of them, since they are new to the district this year.

It is so amazing how God works...because I had prayed and prayed that something would change so that I would be able to go back to Prairieview, but still the first day of school came and nothing. Tuesday, the day before I went back to PV was the first day that I finally let go of my anger regarding the situation, and they next day God moved and I was able to go back to my HOME!!!!

God is so good!!!
