The night before graduation, I received a call for an interview for a Kindergarten position at Elk Meadows Elementary. I couldn't even remember applying for this job. The next Monday I meet with the principal and the two Kindergarten teachers at the school. And two and a half weeks after that I received another call to tell me the job was mine. For every teacher job there is, there are about 250 applicants. So just to get a call is awesome but to get the job is miraculous. As soon as I got off the phone with my new principal I called my mom. I told her that I needed her help because I wanted to learn how to be the greatest Kindergarten teacher in the world (not to surpass her though). She couldn't understand me because I was crying. She thought I didn't get the job because of all the tears. But she started crying to when she could understand.
So there you have it folks! I am the newest teacher at Elk Meadows Elementary in South Jordan. To describe my feelings I would say; EXCITED, happy, nervous, anxious, overwhelmed, supported, BLESSED, and loved. I started last Wednesday. Tomorrow I start testing all 50 of my students and on September 4th, I start to teach. Every morning I wink at myself in the mirror and say "Those students of mine are so lucky!" Soon to come are pictures of my room (if I ever get it looking like I want to) and pictures of me on the First Day, well actually second day since I have already been to Kindergarten, of school!
