8 days and counting!

Christmas break is right around the corner and I can't wait!! I have been in the ESE class all this time, but the end is near. They have finally hired a new teacher. She reported for duty last Friday but they are letting me stay until Christmas break with her because it is the end of the semester and we fear that the kids will shut down if we make too many changes now. Some of the students I am sure will be happy to see me go, others not so much. Some have even told me that they will make the new teacher so miserable that she will quit so I can come back! Honestly I think they will all be fine. It will be an adjustment period but eventually they will conform to the new teacher. She has taught High School ESE before, but not in poor Dade County. She taught in New Jersey where the schools wanted for nothing. If they needed it, they got it. Here we can't even get ink for our printers!! Supposedly another ESE teacher is leaving in January and they are going to slide me into that spot. They all say they are happy with what I have done with these kids.
It is so hard to believe that Christmas is so close. This year has certainly flown by and held a lot of changes. Most of the changes were for the best. I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season and will post again when the opportunity arises!! Be Good!
