I will just keep a watchful eye out for now...the 2nd grader is confirmed leaving Friday. That drops me to 4 students.
I got on the Iowa teaching jobs database, the only job I found that I am certified for (I have K-6, early childhood, early childhood special ed and ELL) was an early childhood special ed job up near Iowa City (5 1/2 hours from here). Pickings will be slim this next year due to all the budget cuts.
Whoever said the recession was over doesn't live here!!
