New School Year... So much Change!!!

Who knew this year would bring so many emotions.
I was a really BAD mom this year and didn't take any pictures for the first day of school.
We started school on the 6th of August. Teachers went back on the 3rd. Being a Special Ed teacher we have lots of scheduling to do to fit everyone in. With much time and much work between me and the other teachers, we began a really great schedule that worked really well.
How great it has gone. I've already seen some progress. The kids are saying my name without having to be reminded and everything. I love them already. You know it doesn't take very long to be attached to such sweet spirits. I have all their goals in order and what order to work on them. I'm excited to see how far they will go this year. Well, I was excited. I found out last week that I was being changed and I would be moving to another school. I was hoping to open an Autism class but for some reason it didn't work out. I don't know if that class will open or not. I guess time will tell. I just know I won't be the one teaching it. I start on Wednesday with another school, new children and different teachers. It's like starting all over again, oh wait, I AM starting all over again!!!! Anna will continue to go to School. I will have to drop her off and pick her up. It's sad that I moved her to "my" school and we were so excited to be at the same school and this happens. I know my position will ALWAYS be contingent on how many students the school has and where they need the special ed teachers. I know that I will again quickly bond with the new students that I will teach, but what happens to the bonds I've already made. Where do they go? I can't just turn them off. I had to leave school today because it was so overwhelming. All of a sudden it was like flood gates. What's up with that? So, I did talk to the secretary and signed out and went and 'got lunch'. So I drove and calmed down and came back in time for my next class. Everyone at the other school has sent me very sweet emails to welcome me. It's been very helpful. I know everything will go great. I'll keep my chin up and be positive. ...... ................................

Good luck with the changes! I know how much you love the children in your class. Whoever is fortunate enough to have their child under your care is so blessed! Good luck!
