My huge announcement is that I will be mooing back to Texas this summer. Smiles and tears all rolled into this announcement. Most of you know my husband is in the Air Force. Well, we received word at the beginning of December that we had orders. He will serve a one year tour in Korea (without us). first thought were that this isn't fair. My husband is currently deployed and we will only get to be with him for 3-4 months before he is god again. How do I explain this to a 4 year old when I can't even wrap my brain around it? Trust me. So many questions have been running through my mind.
Why Texas? Well, my that is my home state. While I miss all my friends and co-workers, I feel that I must go home. We will not be coming back to NC. As of now we are waiting for a follow-on assignment which could be Texas anyway or Germany. It is a waiting game for the next few months. But, in the meantime, I need to be with my family. I need my daughter to grow up knowing them and for them to cherish all of the time they can with her.
Will I teach in Texas? This one I am not quite sure about yet. Possibly, yes. But, it all depends on where our follow-on assignment is to and when we need to report there. I may just sub for a while and be a parent volunteer. This will be her first year of school, Kindergarten. I just want to lap up all of her innocence while I can.
There you have it! The craziness of my life the past month or so. But, I am going to make the best of my teaching for the next few months. I've got lots of great units in store and hope to share them with you soon. Here is a sneak peak I am working on for Common Core RL 2.1 and RL 3.2 for you 2nd and 3rd grade teachers. This will be helpful for those in NC that must complete writing portfolios for your students.
