I taught 6th grade in a middle school for 8 years, but we were all elementary cert. so they switched us around ALL the time. So frustrating - you can't get GOOD at something that way and all that energy spent creating lessons goes out the window. That is why I switched to the elementary - it's more stable. **Knocking on wood**<br />Well.....take this summer then to live in the moment and truly relax.<br /><br />Glad I found your blog!<br /><br />Corrina<br /><a href="http://www.allensteachingfiles.com" rel="nofollow">From Mrs. Allen's Teaching Files</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804742011207215718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7149716969262972471.post-65405652621478060192013-06-30T06:49:49.802-07:002013-06-30T06:49:49.802-07:00What a bummer about the staffing issues.

Sorry you have to deal with that. And OMG it is hot by you. I get annoyed when we get up to the 90s. We are having a very non summery summer here in WI. We had a bonfire last night and it was chilly. I keep waiting for summer to start.Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110420412281024292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7149716969262972471.post-30069792962077537952013-06-30T05:07:54.442-07:002013-06-30T05:07:54.442-07:00Oh LIMS, this is a terrible situation to be in!

Sorry to hear about the staffing issues that you have to go through. A lot of schools are having to downsize, that would be so tough with the uncertainty of it all. I would say put your best flip flop forward and WOW them with your creativity and awesome lesson plans! I so agree with you on putting materials on TPT! <br /><br />Have a great summer! I hope it cools off - it's been really hot here in Arkansas too!<br /><br />Danielle<br /><a href="http://www.crayonboxlearning.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Crayonbox Learning</a>Crayonbox Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071680354891075333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7149716969262972471.post-50050666863555254082013-06-29T21:25:07.817-07:002013-06-29T21:25:07.817-07:00Thanks - I've had a lot happen to me, so I hav...Thanks - I've had a lot happen to me, so I have this bitterness that wasn't there before. <br /><br />I say, put your stuff on TpT!
