This is still technically unofficial, but my class size is about to drop significantly. I had written earlier that our administration was trying to add another English teacher to my grade level to help with our swelling numbers. Linda yanked Keith and me into a conference call to inform us that TWO new teachers have been hired and will be joining us by Wednesday! Linda, Keith and I will have one new teacher on our team while the other one will work with the three teachers on the other English 12 team. Unfortunately, we are not adding any new DEC teachers, so Sharon will still be up to her eyeballs with our special needs students.
Most of me is thrilled. A tiny part of me is wondering what interactions I'll miss because that student will have someone else to guide them through the class. Ah well, this means I'll have more time to have meaningful interactions with the students I'll keep.
