New Adventures

So, I took a shot at it...it was a long shot, and many people told me that, but I did. I went out on a limb. I applied for both gen ed openings in a different building. I would have to make new 'work' friends, jump into the gen ed realm, and work under a new 'boss'. So I just held my breath. I got a call Thursday about getting an interview on Friday. I did my homework. I asked around about who applied and which position they were interested in. I have decent seniority, but she was more experienced for the other position, which would have been my first choice. So my principal gave me homework. As I was reading through some of the material, I realized that it was a lot of what I already do. I think I like the idea of teaching kids, new to school, the fundamentals. Not only that but a half day, and then I would get fresh new faces. The thought of 50-55 kids on my caseload is daunting, but I think I could do it...the interview came quickly....my belly couldn't have handled it taking longer. They asked me to step outside after so they could discuss...I GOT IT!! Next year, I will be in a new building, but same district, teaching Kindergarten. I am excited for the new challenges!!
