I am a second grade teacher again. I love my new class. They are so easy. I think this year may have spoiled me to ever do long-term assignments again. My class from October to January wasn't always easy, but the kids were so full of spirit and fun that it was a pleasure to work with them. Some of my students now are still feeling and little wary about me. One told me today that she likes me a lot, but she still likes her old teacher better. When I ran into one outside he asked me if I was going to be his teacher today. I have to tell him YES over and over - YES I am your teacher for the rest of the time you are in second grade!

It's hard to adjust to working every day again. I miss seeing Ethan. I miss being with Esme more. I know it's the right thing to do for our family, but it's still difficult to get up and go to work every day. Lucky for me, in just a couple weeks, I'll be on vacation again!
