The Changes

I've decided not to be a literacy partner next year. Literacy Partner's been fun, but I'm heading back into the classroom. Word has it that I might be teaching 2nd grade. I taught second grade for one year in 1985, so it's been awhile, but I think it will be a good gig.

Here's another big change. I've decided I want to get a smartphone. Headed over to the phone shop yesterday and come to find out, if I wait til May 18, I can get a free upgrade. By waiting, I'll save about 450$, so I guess it's reasonable to wait. But I did cry a little, because once I wanted that iPhone, man did I want it. Today I've decided to put babyish things aside and cheer up. I'm working on attitude, perspective, and the whole living one day at a time thing.

That's what I was actually hoping. Then I could copy all your lesson plans every day. And our classes could skype.

I'm sure you'll be fantastic. The 2nd graders will be super blessed. I will admit that I'm a bit sad because I wanted to come spend a day with you as literacy leader and follow you around. Will you at least be at the same school?

I can imagine you having all kinds of fun with 2nd grade, as Sheffy is a 2nd grader this year. They are a crazy, excited bunch. You will probably like it! I'm happy for you.

I also think you can get another present for yourself since you have to wait a month for the iphone. Shoes? I feel like you get to spend about a hundred bucks.

I was kind of thinking I need an interim gift. Good idea on the shoes.
