So January 5th rolls around. It's time to head back to work after the holiday break. This new student hasn't been in school for the last year due to family issues. So they have modified her schedule to compensate for that. She attends Kindergarten in the morning and buses to first grade for the afternoon. Then at the change of the semester, she will be transitioned to full day first grade.
She's a little cutie, but has NO FEAR. That, along with no understanding of social behavior norms, make her a handful! We adjust fairly well to each other prior to the transition date. The first day of transition went better than I had expected, but it was still a TOUGH day for both of us. By day three of transition though, she is beginning to understand expectations and is mellowing out a bit.
Who would have guessed that this is what I would be doing this year after interviewing for three different elementary positions! I never expected this opportunity to come along, when I was trying so desperately to move out of my old position.
