Back to preschool...

i worked in special ed preschool for 3 years, this year at the beginning of the school year i got put in 1st grade since there were not enough kids in preschool to have a 3rd person , i was a little dissapointed to not be with my cute little kids, hard as they were i loved being in there. well of course i got settled in my new position with a little boy that is hard a lot of the time but so cute and sweet and i have become very attached to him as he has to me. i love the 1st grade class i am in. the teacher is very firm but never ever yells and is very structured which i also like. i have learned a lot from her. she gives me a lot of jobs in her class like grading papers, checking for homework every day, doing sharing time with the kids and walking around the room to help with work all day all while helping my student.

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!!
