Oh Boy- I'm a sixth grade teacher!

Oh no! Leave it to IPS that they call me and ask me to teach 6th grade in school number 27 until they find a teacher to fill that spot! School starts this coming Wednesday! And they said they have no potential candidates for this position! That means that I could potentially be teaching there all year! Scary! I don't even have my degree yet! So sad for those kids! I mean, I think I know what I'm doing- but do I? Who knows?! We will find out on Wednesday! HA! I think I'm in for a rude awakening!! Anyways, I have to student teach in January, so I know I can't teach this grade all year. Pray for me! I'll be the lil' white girl teacher in an all black school! :) I have Monday and Tuesday to set up the room, figure out what I'm suppossed to do and teach, and get acquainted with the school!
Gracie will be going to the new charter school in Indy called The Project School. You can check it out online- www. theprojectschool.org ! Very cool new concept to education! God worked this all out perfectly b/c the school I'll be teaching at is around the corner from Grace's school. Plus, there are hundreds of schools in IPS and they placed me in #27, exactly where I will be doing one of my student teachings in the winter semester! God is very clever! Also, pray we get the home downtown! Still waiting on that! The home is a few blocks from Grace's and my school too! It would be perfect! Pray for us! :)
