I wonder what this next school year holds for me. It's going to be interesting to see exactly what the kids will be wearing, doing, etc. It's just going to be too interesting to see actually how I cope with the stress of all four of the English classes on my shoulders.
At least they are going to be MY classes again. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed teaching with the other teachers within the inclusion process, but I never really felt like they were MY kids. They were OUR kids... or more to the point in some of the classes, HER/HIS kids. By the end of the year, this past year, had me running all over the place, having more and more to do.
I'm grateful that the school puts a lot of faith in me to do the things that I do, but there are times when I wish that they didn't. I just want to have a simple year ahead. Is that something that I can have? Geez, I surely do hope that it's a simple year.
