News about my work!!!!!

I have been so very very very excited all this week about being at work it is just not even funny. You see, I have been working with my teacher (Joyce) for 13 years now. And for the past 6 years, we have been with another teacher in the same room. The new teacher, just out of college was not comfortable taking a class by herself. So for the past 7 years, Joyce and Dee have been "team" teaching. Well with this team teaching it has made our classroom have 21 students and 6 staff members. Well for the past few months, it has been crazy, too many students, too many adults, too many WOMEN in the same place, too much furniture, too much equipment.....and the list can go on for ever. And in this past few months, it has just been very stressful to go to work every day and keep a positive attitude with so much ciaos going on. SO THIS WEEK~~~~Joyce and Dee have SEPARATED!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!! They have each gotten their own classrooms!!!! And I am still with Joyce and we have another Para with us too, her name is Margaret. So this week we have spent the past few days setting OUR room up the way we want it, we are doing things the way We want it done. It just feels so Wonderful to finally be on our own again. WE HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY this week at work. The kids were done last Friday and they had this week off and then Summer school starts on Monday. And each of us are working summer school. So it is going to be fantastic to have our own classroom with only 9 kids instead of 21. And we are having a blast decorating it, arranging it, getting our office set up (we actually have an Office in our classroom) it was an old storage closet that we created into our office. It is so cool, it is half office/half storage. Just wish it had windows. BUT WE ARE NOT COMPLAINING ONE BIT ABOUT OUR NEW ROOM. It has been a long time coming. When you get that many women, that many opinions, that many bosses, that many....... it just gets too be too dam much and it gets to become where you don't even want to work with the staff anymore. And it is sad to say that it has come to this point. BUT Joyce, Margaret, and I are WONDERFUL together!!!! Joyce and I make a wonderful team together. We RESPECT each other and do what we each need to do for the Children. And this being Margaret's first year, she is catching on real quick as to how Joyce and I work together and she is fitting right in with us. Now the three of us are a Excellent Team Together. IT is going to be a fantastic summer school and an absolutely wonderful next school year. We can not be any more happier at this time.

:) I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!!!!! :)
