tonight was the first swimming lesson for the session. jeffy took owen in today, and owen cried and clung the entire time. hmmm...sounds like the the first lesson last session. hopefully thursday will be better.
i found out today that as of next week, i will no longer be traveling between my two current schools on tuesdays and thursdays. i found out via an e-mail sent to the entire staff explaining the new classrooms and the trickle-down effect that would be creating at my second school. i have no official word from the district on anything. in fact, i was the one who informed my principal at my main school. i e-mailed her to ask what she knew and her response was, and i quote, "HUH???????" we'll see when i find out anything at all. the principal at my second school advised me to stick around at my main school on tuesday if i don't hear anything from the district. maybe i'm missing something, but i fail to see how switching things up like this after school has started is the best thing for the kids. i get that smaller classrooms is good, by how can switching whole teachers' schedules (and in this case, there are two of us who are being affected.) we'll be essentially a month behind with our new assignments, which is detrimental not only to us but to the kids as well. i'll be starting all over again next week with a new group of kids. getting expectations established, routines, etc. at least my main assignment won't be changing, unless it goes from .8 to 1.0 (that would be 4 days a week to 5 days a week). it's frustrating to say the least. this is the worst possible week for the switch to be happening, too. i'm out of town w-f of next week for my sister's wedding. guess a sub will have to do the new stuff for day 2.
