It has been a bittersweet last week of school for me. On the last day of school I found out very unexpectedly that my k-1 strategist position would not be funded again for next year. Then in the 24 hours that followed I was moved three different times. Needless to say with all of that change there has been a lot of crying in the last few days.
You all know that I LOVE teaching and I LOVE kindergarten so I am VERY EXCITED to say I will be going back into the classroom next year!! I am already thinking about the little ones who will be coming to me in August!! So.... onto next year!! Lindsey, Carina, and Nicole - I am looking forward to our year together. I know it is going to be great!

I wish you could have taken my position. Best of luck to you next year!
Sorry to hear about your position. However, as a fellow kindergarten teacher, I am looking forward to all your wonderful ideas next year!
Sorry for all the stress you are going through but it is great to hear that you get to teach where your heart is...kindergarten. Keep us posted on your progress.

Kaydi,
I was sorry to hear it was you that was leaving. I did not even know who had resigned at first because everything happened so fast!! I wish you the best of luck with your kids next year. Keep selling on TPT because I love the things I have bought from you!
Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I needed them this week!! and I can't wait to share what is going on in my classroom with all of you!!
I am glad you landed where you want to be!

I'm SO jealous of your new kdg position. But, I'm very happy for YOU. I can't wait to see what you share next year when you're back in the classroom.
I am so sorry that you had to go through so many transitions in the last couple of days, I know how that feels, and it is horrible! However, I am excited to see your posts next year in your Kinder class!!!! :)

April,
As an instructional coach myself, I think you have done a wonderful job keeping your blog readers abreast of all the wonderful teaching moments that you experience yourself or through the teachers you work with. Many times I found myself amazed that you could produce so many amazing posts day after day!
Smiles,

Congratulations! I LOVE being in the K classroom. This will be my 11th (did I really just say that outloud?) year and I can't imagine doing anything else! :)

April,
You could not have been a better support for all the teachers you worked with. I am so glad that you will continue to touch teachers through your blog. I know that when one door closes another opens, so I feel confident that you will ultimately be grateful for this change. Right now though, I am feeling selfish and I will miss running into you at the campuses we helped with. You are a rockstar....just remember that.
