I am seeing challenges in the number of students, but hopefully I will be able to get everyone to where they need to be by the end of the year. I wish I didn't have to have 28 kids, but I am thankful that I kept my job while so many others lost theirs. It's a scary time in education, but I am determined to make the best of it! If I can keep a good attitude I am positive I can make it through. There will be lots of prayers this year, but I know the prayers I've made already are helping so much!
So today I am grateful for my job and for my new students. I think we're going to have a pretty awesome year!
Head on over to Heavenly Homemakers to see what everyone else is grateful for today!
Until next time,
Visiting from Gratituesday.
ReplyDeleteI work on the admistrative side of education. Our district (Milwaukee) had to lay off about 300 teachers and cut numerous programs. With 80% of students at the poverty level and and 60% considered "special ed" and, like you, 28 or more kinds in one room - boy, my hats off to you teachers. I don't know how you all do it but I"m so grateful that you do!
Whew! 28+ is a lot! But, yes, so many have lost their jobs. We just started home school this week, and I might as well have 28-lol! It has been a bit hectic but mostly because I didn't get my planning done early in the summer.
