When Do You Go Back to School Linky, Educate and Inspire’s Giveaway, & iPad Giveaway

  I'm joining Jessica from Literacy Spark for her linky party, "It's Time!! When do you go back?".

Link up and share when you officially start back at school.  How many days of work do you have before the students come back?  What do you spend those days doing?  How are you feeling about going back...?!

School officially starts back for me on August 12.  I will have three days of professionally development before the students come back. Hopefully, I will have some time to work in my room.

Until a couple of days ago, I was SUPER excited about going back to work.  I talked to my principal on the 23^rd. She told me that she was THINKING about moving me to a different grade and wanted to know how I felt about it. As all my super plans (I found via blog stalking.) for the upcoming year flashed before my eyes, I told her that I was not comfortable about moving.  Without shedding a tear, I then stated that I would perform whatever job tasks she assigned to the best of my ability. Now I’m SUPER anxious, but still excited. I won’t know her final decision until Monday.  I’m truly optimistic about the upcoming school year. After all, it is what it is, but it will become whatever I choose to make it. I choose to make it an AWESOME year!!!
