Was this it?
Could this really be it?
It is only March.
She couldn't possibly be thinking...
Yes she was.
This morning during recess she offered me the new 3rd grade position for next year. After teaching in first for the last 6 years I am going to make a jump! My feelings are so bittersweet tonight. I love/adore/completely stress out over those little darlings. But, theoretically, third graders know how to tie their shoes and zip their coats independently. They can, in theory, sit for longer than 47 seconds with out yelling "teacher, teacher!"
It will be so hard to leave my firsties. But I am so ready for a new adventure. And the best part is I have the next 5 months to get ready for The Third Grade Escapades!
Escapade {in third grade} :
es·ca·pade
n.
An adventurous, unconventional act or undertaking. {With eight year olds!}
