Exhaustion

The start of a new school year is behind us now. One week ago, I began my 16th year of teaching. I forgot to take a back to school photo.

This year I am not a 'classroom teacher.' Instead, I will be working with the kindergarten teachers as the Academic Intervention Service teacher. My job will be to get the students who are a certain percentage below their level to their level, of as close to it as possible. 

So far it's been testing to see where they are and I, along with the other AIS teachers, have been covering an overflow Kindergarten class. Our school's kindergarten classes are full so we need to place them in another school. In the meantime, we are teaching them as best we can. 

Like everyone, I'm truly exhausted. Kindergarteners will suck the life out of you. Add to that I am running here, there, and everywhere to cover classes. That is part of my job description, and I do not mind it. It's nice to see a different group of students throughout the day.

Now, off to sleep. 5:40 will be here soon!
