WElcome Back?!

Monday was the first day back at school!  I was soo excited walking to work, seeing people I hadn’t in a few months and just feeling back at home.( I even tripped over a pile of cow poop!)
I had talked to the teachers to get them back in the school a WEEK before school starts. No school does that….and to tell you the truth I didn’t really expect anyone to show up. BUT TWO out of the five teachers were there!! YAYAY I thought as I approached.

We spent the day cleaning, fixing up the rooms, talking about our breaks…brainstorming ideas..as well as facing the issues ahead of us... Two out of the five teachers are not coming back….WOW…
And we have no idea the timeframe for the Department hiring their replacements(because schools do not hire their teachers, the department of the region does)
The principle has to sign off on their papers, so technically it will not be official till Monday which means the beginning of the school year will look like:


60 students with special needs
3 teachers(one with a college degree)
Me
And a principle that may come.

Hmmmmm maybe not the ideal situation to start a new school year….BUT, I have hope…especially after seeing a few of the students…who wouldn’t want to work hard for them?!

On another new beginning..
The 10,000 stipend wasn’t passed through the budget either for the Inclusion program….so a new proposal must be written and funding sources are trying to be identified……things will happen….good things will happen..take it one day at a time, right? 


Peace, love, and Nah take no worries man!!
