Why a blog? I want to keep track of all of my discoveries and keep my excitement alive. This first post will include my proposed schedule for teaching 2 different preschool classes along with continuing to teach kindergarten.
The saddest part is that I will be losing my big, beautiful classroom and my new classroom will be much smaller. Long and skinny is a good definition. I need to figure out how to set up 6-8 learning centers as well as have tables and chairs for the kindergarten students. I will be posting my progress as I figure out just how to undertake this new adventure.
