Y’all, I got a job for next school year! I had several interviews this week and got a few offers. I picked one and will be a 7th grade Language Arts and Social Studies co-teacher and teach a reading intervention bell. I love this for a couple reasons: one, its middle school and thats what I wanted, two its public school so the pay is better, and three, I get the best of both special ed worlds-inclusions support and pull out time! So, thanks for the prayers and good thoughts. I really appreciate it!
It’s also spring break this week, so I am pumped about that! I binged watched the newest season of 60 days in, then the final season on Criminal minds. I’m literally out of things to watch. I’ve also played a lot of Animal Crossing. What I haven’t done is read. I just can’t seem to focus. Maybe now that I’m not adding the stress of job hunting to the daily stress of a pandemic, I will be able to dive back into reading.
I hope everyone has a safe Easter! Stay home and stay safe!
So, whats new with you this week? Did you read any of the same books I did? Did you find any great book deals I need to grab ASAP? Let me know in the comments!
And you had your pick of offers!!! Congratulations! This is such a bright spot in this mess. I am ecstatic for you. Two subjects isn’t too bad either. Weren’t you doing all subjects before? I cannot wait to hear all about your new school next fall.
Two subjects is easy! Yes, I currently provide support in ALL already for 4 different grade levels. I’m very excited. Thanks for the support!!
Happy Easter! So happy to hear about your job, CONGRATS! Those memes are great, btw lol

Congrats on the new job. It sounds like you found the perfect position! Be safe and have a Happy Easter
Thanks!
Yepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Congrats Samantha! This is AMAZING! I know how you stressed the past months so I am so happy for you!
I am SO happy that you had multiple offers and were able to pick one which will fit you best!! Is it close to home? YAY for spring break! We had Friday off. But the days are kind of running together for me. I’m not very motivated, although I am moody reading.
Have a healthy, safe week! Happy Easter!
Great news on the job front! I’m so happy for you!
Oh HUGE congratulations, Samantha! I knew you would land the kind of job you wanted – and this one sounds SO much better:)). I hope now you can relax a bit. Though obviously teaching right now is a major challenge… Take care and have a peaceful, heathly life.
Yay! I’m so happy for you, Sam! I’m sure it’s a huge relief. Love the Stephen King thing! I’m totally out if a clown shows up, too!
Enjoy your Easter! 🙂
Happy Easter! And congratulations on the job!!!!! Awesome. So happy for you. 🙂
Hope you have an awesome week.
That’s fantastic. Congratulations on the new job. It’s great that it’s basically exactly what you wanted. And don’t worry about not reading, I know a lot of people haven’t been in the right frame of mind for it. I’m impressed with everything else you’ve managed to do to be honest. I feel like I’m one of the few people who hasn’t been playing Animal Crossing lately.
Congratulations so excited to hear you have a new job!
Wishing you a great reading week and good health
Big, big congratulations on the job, Samantha! So excited for you! I’m so happy you got what sounds like a perfect fit for you. And hooray for spring break! Hopefully you are able to kick back and find some reading time.
