Still Nervous after 43 First Days of School!

In 2 weeks I will start school for the 43rd time of my life! This week instead of doing fun things or working on my naps, I will be ruminating about what grade I'll be given to teach this year. You see, my district decided to add gifted education programs in our building for preschool and kindergarten. But none of the teachers in our building are certified for gifted ed. Most of us have taken 2 classes towards the additional certification but still need to take 2-4 more classes. The parents want teachers who already hold gifted certif. and also hold early childhood certification, not too many of those around. So what does the principal do? Tells us she knows very litttle about what is going on. There will be no changes or lots of changes. This has been happening since April. I just want to scream "WTH!!!" Will I have to move into a new room and pack up 10 years worth of teaching supplies and learn a new curriculum? Will I be able to stay in my class and teach gifted kindergarteners? regular ed kindergartners?

Some times I wish I had a crystal ball and could see into the future. Maybe then my heartburn would go away!
