The Room

Today I received some startling news from bosslady. I will be moving classrooms this year because we will most likely have too many kindergarteners coming to learn with us in autumn.  My new room is 1/2 the size of my old room, about the size of a postage stamp, but it has a great view of the downtown courthouse square so I've decided to be upbeat about it.  Once again, I've proven to be a team player at the school site.  I'm not sure anyone's noticing this, but they really should.  This type of positive attitude is a rarity.

She'd be stupid if she didn't notice what a team player you are. Geez.

I know. It's pretty amazing. She actually thanked me a bunch of times during the day, but is that really enough recognition for this level of teamplayerness????

Yours is a degree of team-playerness un-matched in my experience. And while not a teacher, I do have quite a bit of experience in this area...

As a peripheral participant this year in moving eight 4th & 5th grade teachers to newly renovated classrooms a mere 10% smaller than their previous (un-renovated) classrooms -- and with the added bonus of 2 shared break-out spaces and additional dedicated storage cabinets and storage rooms -- I assure you, you are, indeed, a saint for moving without complaint.

While most of the time,it is nice working in high socio-economic status districts, sometimes the sense of entitlement drives me up the freaking wall...

Ms. M., I've been wanting to talk to you about this school building thing all year. People get so INTENSE about what they want. And I'm surprised at how many people say stuff like, "Well, x or y or z is totally non-negotiable" when talking to the architects. It's funny because they don't have x or y or z right now, but somehow they must have it or they'll die. It's funny, in a way. Can't wait to see you and mr. b next week. yay.

KC, If anyone deserves this castle, it's clearly Shef.

And sister beth, I miss you! A LOT! I'll be better about email. How about FACEBOOK, kiddo??? Get on there!
