Yesterday I was hired by Saratoga Shores Elementary (in Saratoga Springs) as a 3rd grade teacher!! Seriously cannot wait to start!
Actually I haven't waited to start. I've already started planning and scheming for books for my classroom library. So if you know of anyone getting rid of any 3rd grade level books...you know who to talk to (me).
And my browser currently looks like this...
...except there are about 15 tabs open.
I love knowing what my future holds! (at least the next year...). I honestly wasn't too worried about getting an internship (is that bad to admit?), but the location was stressing me out! I loved my experience in Alpine and wouldn't dream of working anywhere else. But there were 33 other people with that same mindset and not enough spots for everyone.
I love knowing what grade I'm going to teach! And I love that it's 3rd grade! Before even working in the schools, I told people that my preference was 3rd or 4th grade. This semester I've been planning lessons in some of my classes and I arbitrarily, or wishfully, picked 3rd grade. I have so much random stuff invested into a grade that I wasn't sure I was ever going to teach, and now I am!! I feel so blessed! As I was looking over the standards last night that I'll be responsible for teaching, and I was overwhelmed by an impression that this is where I'm supposed to be. I can picture myself teaching all this stuff, and I can picture myself enjoying it!
