Yikes, Not Again! Where does the TIME go????

I can't believe I haven't blogged since February 4th! First I couldn't get into my blog for 2 weeks, then every time I sit down, I fall asleep! This is incredible, so one flat tire later, midquarter grades, TAP, IGP's, lesson plans, PD and POL, CALT testing I can't keep up!!! Now on top of everything both my schools want me .6 next year! What to do, what to do. I have spoken with one principal who is willing to put me @ .5. I have emailed the other. I have been with the program of one building for 5 years and love the staff and students. I am new to the 2nd program, but I feel a great need to be there. I know what happens won't matter 100 years from now, but it is the here and now that concerns me. I have had incredibly wonderful support from IT Services at every level from every person involved this past year. Without their support life would have been much more difficult - almost impossible at times. It seems this process of decision making comes earlier every year. It is so difficult and heart wrenching. Even though I know it is all about the position, and not the person in the position, change is difficult. Students at both schools have been asking me if I will be back. Students in the 7th grade at one building tell me I must be back for their 8th grade year. At the 2nd building K-3rd graders look at me adoringly and with so much trust telling me about the little things in their lives and what they liked about the book they checked out last week. This too shall pass. And then there's my blog. I just don't have the time to devote to it that I would like to. My co worker in this class has made so much progress! We are so busy we hardly have time to greet each other in passing. He tells me adding things is easy. So he says. I guess I am more the type of person who needs to be shown things, but I am good at following directions. I just need some uninterrupted time. I will have to carve some out from somewhere! Goodnight.

Good luck with figuring out your positions at each school! You should really be proud of the fact that your middle schoolers (!) are hoping you'll be back :)
