The day has come, the day is here! Well....not quite. Monday I go back to work. I've enjoyed a 5 1/2 month long maternity leave following the birth of my daughter. It has been SO amazing staying at home with her.
Going back to work is so bittersweet. But I am so lucky that my employer is allowing me to keep my baby with me in a wrap as I go back to the classroom for just 4 hours a day. I feel like I am so lucky to be able to go back to work doing the thing that I love - teaching in a Montessori classroom, AND have my baby with me!
But I do remember how incredibly stressful teaching can be. Add that on top of taking care of my little girl and wanting to feel like I am giving HER all the attention she wants and needs as well as 24 other children is going to be challenging.
Nonetheless, being able to have your baby with you at work is pretty much unheard of, so I will keep my complaining to myself.
Work starts December 1st, and starting in January I will go to our school's brand-new location to be the lead teacher in the first ever French-Immersion classroom at our school! So excited!
Here is to a great year of ideas, inspiration, growth and learning!
