I’ve been quiet for a long time. The reason for this is that at the end of this school year, my school is being closed.
The reasons behind closing the school are familiar and all too common- budget shortfalls, declining enrollment, difficult economic times.
After our staff was informed of the news, I began to mourn my impending loss. I thought of everything I will miss and everything I don’t want to change. I went home sad every night.
Focusing on helping my students got me excited about teaching again. I do this job for my students. I still want them to learn. I want their new teachers at their new schools to be happy with what they know and rejoice in how they are curious, strong, eager learners. Even though I will be in a new place next year, I’m continuing to do everything possible for my students this year.

I’ve enjoyed your blog and recommended it to several new teachers.
I hope you’ll continue to blog at your new school, and I wish you the best of luck.
I am looking forward to blogging about the transition to my new school. Hopefully it will be mostly good things to write about! It’s just unknown right now, so that’s a little difficult.
I think it is sad that so many schools are closing. You have a wonderful attitude about it. It is true that we do this job for the kids. Its important to keep that in mind.
