Update #2: I still feel like crap. It’s a roller coaster. I feel like I’m getting better and then BAM, I feel awful again. Mostly chest congestion, headache and loss of smell/taste.
But my biggest worry is that I am a super-spreader. The sub that was working with me on Monday has it now as well as a few of my kids. I should have known I was going to get it. I did hang out with my SIL the night before she tested positive. I tested negative, but it was too early. And I felt fine….until I didn’t. I started feeling crappy at school but just thought it was because I was exhausted (I was) and hot (I was!). This new variant is no joke…it is SO contagious. I am REALLY mad at myself. If I wasn’t on such a time crunch (being hired just a few days before school started with a COMPLETELY empty room), I would have been more cautious.
Update: I have Covid. It’s hitting me HARD. It’s the 2nd day of school, but my principal is amazing. I just have to rest up and feel better. I love my job…I have to many updates. But right now…sleep.
OP: So I told you a couple of months ago that I was taking a break from teaching to work on my TPT and pursue some other things. I’ve been working hard and making good growth. I was also looking into some other opportunities. And it’s been pretty great…I like being my own boss.
Until yesterday. My former principal (from my 1st job here in Santa Barbara) had to add a TK class last minute. And she buttered me up. I mean full-fat, organic, expensive butter. How could I say no?
So on MONDAY (in 4 days) I will be teaching a class of 21 4 and 5 year-olds.
And this morning, my sister-in-law (roommate) tested positive for the big C. She just got back from Hawaii on Monday night. We did hang out in the living room together last night (sitting on opposite ends of the couch) for a couple of hours. So….please send all of your good juju. I CANNOT get COVID right now. Ugh!
OK…off to unpack my little kid stuff….

But, at least it's what you've taught before so you do know that age and how to work with them. You'll be great! (which the former principal must have realized since she sought you out.
