the VP came to me and said that they needed another person in preschool and that she knew i loved preschool, and would i like to go. what a decision. it took me about 4 weeks to build a raport with my student, i wanted to do what was best for him. i talked a lot with the special ed teachers and together we all decided it would be best for me to go to preschool. my student (i cannot name him is why i say student) has become very attached as i said and sometimes that becomes dependent which is not what we want and 7 of the preschoolers are coming up to KDG. next year so i would move up with one of them next year and make that transition smoother.
today i was sad in my class, i gave the teacher a heads up that this might happen and she was not happy so i hate to tell her i am leaving. i really hate to leave that class. i then saw my coworker from preschool and she gave me a squeal and a hug so then i was happy. a lot of mixed emotions! i won't move until the end of the month but i will be sad to leave 1st grade!
i texted matt and told him i was sad, he said in 1 week back there you will be loving it! hope so!
SO...back to preschool where i know the math!!

I totally understand. I thought when they asked me to move to 3rd-5th I would hate it. But, now when I think about going back down to k-2 I don't think I would want to. You learn to love each age for a different reason I guess. I am sure you will be happy wherever you are and you can always pop in and visit.
hahaha, well I'm glad you'll know the math there:-)
I totally see your dilemma though, because it would be hard. I like my job here, but an administrative assistant position opened up at UVU in the same building I worked in and I'm so tempted to apply for that one. I think it would be so fun to work with the preschoolers though and it would be hard to leave when a student is so attached to you, but I guess sometimes you have to let them learn on their own. Such hard decisions to make! Good luck and I bet the preschoolers will be so happy to have you!!
OMG I'm seriously contemplating teaching or getting my teaching certificate after I grad in December. I want to go to law school, but teaching sounds more rewarding :)
aww. im sure it'll be hard for you to leave, but you'll be happy once again with your preschool kids in no time im sure :)
All I can say is that whoever has you as their teacher is very very blessed:)
