Some of you know that I "retired" from teaching last year after only a year in the field. I just decided that teaching wasn't really what I wanted to do with my life. I love kids, but spending time with them in the classroom just was neither fun nor particularly productive as far as I could tell. So I retired.
This year I've come out of retirement. Accidentally. I actually went into my District office to sign up to sub for a semester so that I could go back to school in January. (Subbing is fun. If no one dies or sets the room on fire the day you sub, then everyone thinks you are amazing.) But when I got there, the Personnel Director (aka my first grade teacher) was like, "Oh good. You're here. We have a job for you!" I tried not to give in, but she proved to be too persuasive. I took the job. I'm now teaching Math to 3rd and 4th graders, and to be honest, this year I'm actually really enjoying it. I get small class sizes and almost everything we do is movement oriented and hands on activities. (I have a lot of kinesthetic learners.)
So for today I enjoy being a teacher. Not that I won't be going back into retirement at the end of the year.
