A complete surprise

Today in the life of Sam was totally a complete surprise to me. This was my day of cleansing myself out due to my surgery that is scheduled for tomorrow that Sam was moving out of his class!! WHAT?

I have heard that a new 5th grade teacher was moving in, due to the overcrowding of 5th graders and not enough teachers. Sam, came home with a letter from the principle that Sam was one of the students being moved into this new class. Was I happy about it? NO....I wasn't. My thought is why? Why Sam? He really had sort of a rough time in 4th after starting out with one teacher and her moving out and he getting a replacement. One that he claims was mean, and yelled at kids. On the other hand Sam got great grades with this teacher and I kept him in this class. He wanted to be moved in a bad way, but he's not always going to like the teacher he gets and you don't always get what you want. Anyway, he passed and moved onto 5th.

So, according to this letter - Sam has met this teacher today (Monday) and seems to like her. He's moving into the old Art classroom as that will become his homeroom class. He was moving in on Wednesday, the day I get out of the hospital. They will be doing a parent teacher meeting coming up soon, so that we can meet each other.

By talking with Sam over this new move, I wanted to be sure that he was OK with this. He said he really likes the new teacher, he likes his class and the best part to him is they don't have the block!! And what that is - being there 8 5th grade classes in the school, the teachers teamed up and split the classes as they do in middle and high school. Sam, just hated that - he said it's confusing to him and he never knows where to put his finished work, because the teachers don't explain it.

So, I'm looking forward to meeting Mrs. Lynch coming up but I'm unable to drive for 2 weeks until I get my clearance from my Doctor on the 12th.
