It’s official

I got the contract signed, the keys to the doors, the stuff moved out of my basement, and my classroom is no longer a mess…..

I’M A REAL TEACHER!!

Yes, I was a teacher for awhile at my old job, but that didn’t count. And then I was a substitute. But that didn’t count either. I was a long term sub too, and that was close, but it still didn’t count.

However, that all changed on Wednesday at 7:18 am-that was when the principal of a local school called and offered me a first grade job!!

Of course I accepted!! And now, it definitely counts!

It was all quite sudden and very unexpected. i got called at about 11:30 am on Monday to interview right away, so I went in at 2:00 and interviewed and it went really well. The next day around 12:00 the Principal called me back for a second interview, so at 3:45 on Tuesday, i interviewed again. Wednesday morning I was offered the job at 7:18 am at at 7:25 I called my old job to let them know that that would be my last day! Thursday I started at my new school! And today, I worked on my classroom! And though tomorrow is Saturday, I will be back working on it some more!! Next week is open house and then school starts on the 2nd!

I wanted to get through the first week before I said anything, but everything is set now. And I am so happy. The staff is wonderful, the principal is great, and my classroom is HUGE-almost too big!!  I’ll post some pics soon!!!

Well I need to get some sleep, its been a long and wonderful week!! And I am looking forward to sleeping in before we head up to school.

My school.

To my classroom.

I’m a teacher!!! YIPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
