Has it been 4 months already? The end of the year is coming... I sometimes still can't believe I have been teaching in my own classroom for the last four months. I have been fortunate and blessed to have a class where the kids are still innocent and sweet. While they are a chatty bunch, they have been a blessing to work with so far.
Last week, I had a new injury that was related to my old back injury from last year. I had not taken a day off from work since I started subbing and teaching this year even when I was extremely sick. However, this newest injury was out of my control as I couldn't move very freely and was in immense pain. I was fortunate however, to have colleagues that care and healthcare.
Last Thursday, we had the first storm related day off in a long time for our district. On Friday morning, I went in to prep lesson plans for my sub so it wouldn't be so hectic. I have been out of the classroom for about a week now, and while its nice to stay home and rest, I really miss working with my kids. I just hope I don't stretch myself thin tomorrow and Friday before the two week holiday.
