Want to get to know me a little better?


I finally have a minute to join The Teaching Tribune’s Monday Meet Up.

But because I missed the previous weeks, I am including them in this post as well.

Here is my letter to myself from when I started this lil’ ole blog.
Dear me 
 But because I have to have the last word, I wrote a response to the pessimistic me.
Dear pessimistic me

The next meet up was learning a little about me. Not sure if you will notice but I am a little frustrated with my district right now.
About me
And finally here are three things I know you didn’t know about me.
Meet me
Thanks for taking the time to linger here a bit. Enjoy your week!

    I am so glad to see this. I am so frustrated and upset today! I took a pre-k position with the promise of moving up to k,1 or 2 next year. I was placed in k sped and was SUPER excited for it. After I moved all my stuff and was all ready for K, they told me today that I am moved back to pre-k because the teacher assigned to pre-k left. I am upset, frustrated, hurt, angry, etc.

    I know it might sound strange that your frustration makes me feel better. I am so sorry it is happening to you too, but it makes me feel just a little better to know I am not the only one who feels like they are being a little jerked around by administration. It also reassures me that another year paying my dues in prek would be better than leaving... It happens everywhere I guess!!!

    So sorry to hear about your situation, but I definitely feel your pain. I'm here for ya!

      Hi Meredith,
      It is always nice to know that you are not the only one experiencing frustrations with schools/districts/administration. I have been disappointed and frustrated for 12 years, but because I have a vested interest in this district I stay. I am sorry that this happened to you this year, it sucks! But because you are who you are you will do a killer job next year and no one will know how upset or frustrated you were, that's why we teach, blog, and care. Good luck!
