I'm sure everyone knows what a nightmare last year was for me. I started off teaching 4th, 5th, and 6th grade science and they threw in 7th and 8th grade computers for good measure. Was out almost a month for my treatment, came back for one week and started a kindergarten/1st grade class. Had them for about 6 weeks and became a 1st/2nd grade class. Yes, the only grade I did not teach was 3rd!!! Talk about a nightmare.

Come the end of the year, I'm told I will be teaching 6th grade next year (as in next week now!) but was told to hold off and not pack up my room yet because things may change. Hormonal tween sixth graders would not be my first choice, but hey, it's a job.

A couple of weeks ago I get a call saying my old science position has come open....would I prefer that to 6th grade. Heck yeah!! Something I've taught before -- that would be a novel concept. But again with the disclaimer to wait a bit longer to move back over because things may still change.

Finally, today I get a call that they are going to add another primary class. Do I want to teach a 1st/2nd grade class again. You bet!! However one of the other teachers might want the 1/2 which would leave me with a straight 1st -- even better!!

So after months of not knowing what I would be doing this year......I will be teaching 1st grade (and maybe 2nd)! Now I better get started planning my year out!! : )
