Possible New Adventures & Changes Ahead

Me, 2nd grade

have wanted to teach since I was little girl and it is all I have ever wanted to do.  Teaching is all I love everything about teaching. Setting up the classroom, planning lessons, reviewing student work, and sharing each day with eager (mostly) happy students.

My interview is Friday and while I would love this job, I know that I won't be disappointed to get to stay in my classroom and teach full-time next year. The possibilities are endless and new things may be coming my way but in any case, next year will be a blast. It always is.
