Friends yesterday I officially completed my Masters degree in Lead Teacher. I Mastered it and DONE with it🎉🎉🎉 I wanted to come here and let you know the journey wasn’t easy and today I told myself GOOD THINGS DONT COME EASY. I am grateful for all the obstacles and overcoming the unseen and unspoken. We can do hard things—YOU GOT THIS‼️

I started with a new school district this year, but I’m still teaching 5th grade. It’s been a rough transition. I knew going to a bigger district would mean lots of things, but I feel like a first year teacher all over again. Their scores haven’t been as high as they would like so they’re forcing us to all follow the “Fundamental 5” Principles and training. Our administration is expected to be doing walkthroughs in 40 classrooms each week so I have 1-2 in my room every week. They’re also a Capturing Kids Hearts district and our principal wants us to be a National Showcase Campus this year, so there are walkthroughs for that too. We barely have time to plan and grade, and I have at least one ARD every two weeks. Oh, and our bilingual teacher was pulled from our campus the week before school started and I have some kids that need to test in Spanish. I barely recovered from the stress over Christmas break and I am not feeling the spark I used to have for teaching. I love my students. They’re really sweet, but they don’t stop talking. I had high hopes for this group of kids since they started school after COVID, but they are still very low and lack some basic “school” skills. I know I’m rambling on, but I also love this community. If you read the is far, thank you for letting me vent. I’m seriously considering not teaching next year. I’m looking into getting into Instructional design and development for corporations or companies so I can still have insurance.

The last few months have been … packed! Wonderful moments with family, friends, students Challenging moments with the same people. Ha! I have missed being a part of this community along with a couple of others I connect with. My husband and grandson had been in a horrible accident two years ago Dec 15. It’s been a wonderful ( because they survived) and hard journey .. surgeries, ptsd, still recovering from horrific head and back injuries. But God has been faithful and finally seeing results we’ve been praying for.. for both of them Anyway…. I spent the whole two weeks off… off of my computer. No work, refreshed, ready to get back into game. I’m missed learning from all of you!
