Jake's teacher sent home a letter today saying that she's leaving his school next year for a curriculum position at another school.
I. Am. Heartbroken.
I think I've mentioned before that in the Montessori school, children stay in the same classroom for 2 years. Actually, in a *true* Montessori setting, they stay in the same classroom from age 3 to age 5, but in this public school they start with PreK instead of a 3-year-old class.
And I know I've mentioned that we considered keeping Jake in PreK another year because of social issues. Well, when that didn't work out, we were really okay with it because we knew he'd have the same teacher another year. It'd be another year to get accustomed to school without having to get accustomed to a different teacher.
And now we're losing her! Let me just say, I am very happy for her. I'm sure this new job will be a good fit for her. But we're going to miss her terribly.
Jake doesn't really seem phased by it,however. When I told him, he said, "But she'll be there tomorrow, right?"
I could learn a lot from a kid who takes life one day at a time...

I told H's teacher I wanted to request that she be B's teacher next year and she told me she was not going to be there next year. I was so dissappointed. I wish we could pick there teachers each year....that is not being unreasonable is it?
