I was finishing up for the day, one of my students was checking the points that the students do daily, when the principal walked in. First thought, this better not be bad news or I don't think I will be able to regain my composure with students still in the classroom. Instead he tells me that the district office had just called and they were offering me the .4 ELL position that I had been subbing for the last three weeks. I have an every day job!
And now you're wondering what .4 means. exactly like the math tells you 4/10 of a full time job. Full time would be a 1.0. the job is only in the afternoon, so i will still be subbing half days in the morning (hopefully 2-3 times a week). I will be teaching two classes of middle school students in sheltered English Language Acquisition. One class is 7th graders, mostly boys, mostly Hispanic. The other class is sixth, seventh and eighth graders, almost evenly split girls and boys, and almost evenly split Russian/Ukraine and Hispanic.
The cool thing is I will be teaching at a school within walking distance from where i live. I'm already thinking that it will be nice to walk to work a couple of days a week. So I have to wait for the rest of the paperwork stuff to get completed, I have informed my other district that i can only work mornings and re-arranged my schedule so that I won't be stepping on anyone's toes. That means some of my math assignments will have to be cancelled...sadness.
I am blessed
