The Party’s Over…
August 10, 2007
So this time next week, I’ll be back to work, readying the school for the influx of kids starting the next school year.
Ugh.
Part of me is looking forward to this, and part of me is not. The part of me that is loves working with kids, and is really excited to see the kids and many of my co-workers after this summer.
The part of me that is not looking forward to this is the part that always freaks out at the beginning of the school year because even though I have put things in place for Spiff, I worry that the year will be a rough one. Now that Scamp is heading into mainstream Kindergarten, sans a full IEP, I’m also stressed out about that. We’ve been so blessed, having a fantastic Pre-K teacher for two years. This year will have new teachers, new students, new expectations, and I’m worried that Scamp will have problems adjusting to the new regime. It doesn’t make me feel better to know that this is the same school that I had so many problems with the IEP team for Spiff. The only saving grace is that I work there now, so now there is definitely NO EXCUSE for anyone to say that they can’t confer with me when in comes to Scamp. But I have no doubt that they will find one.
That. Annoys. Me.
But I’ve dealt with it before, so I’m ready. But I’m still nervous. Not to mention, I’m not slated to go into the classroom I was previously in. My hours have been cut, and I’m going into a class I have had loads of experience with, but to be honest, I would rather be back where I was last year. It’s not my decision, and que sera sera.
These days are going to fly by, aren’t they?
