The First Day of School Starts Today!
A month ago, I was all set for taking on the role of Yearbook Adviser. My syllabus and curriculum were ready to go!
A week ago today, I was asked to take on the role of 8th Grade English Teacher. For the past year, I have subbed in this class, prayed for this spot, and I truly felt led by God to this position. There was only one issue. The job was taken and it did not look like there would be an opening any time soon. In fact, as I mentioned above, I was all set to be working in a different position that I had prepped for over the summer.
Instead, due to God’s direction and working in my life, I am the new 8th Grade English Teacher, starting my first day TODAY! As you’re reading this, I’m teaching my very first classes!
When I was asked to take this role, there was no hesitation. I immediately said yes and felt confident in that decision. However, there was a lot of work to be done and even more yet to do. Due to this unforeseen and extremely work-heavy load, I will unfortunately have to be taking a step back from blogging.
What does this mean exactly?
I still plan on continuing my Alphabet Challenge so make sure you are working on your entries! However, my Alphabet Challenge will most likely be my only entirely new posts in the next few months. I do plan on re-posting old blog posts (with some updated content included).
I will not be able to visit as many other blogs as I usually like to do, but I will do my best to continue the rounds as I can.
Please wish me luck in this new venture and if you pray, I appreciate your prayers!
Welcome to the crazy world of teaching 8th grade!
