Hello,
I teach 4th grade at a Christian school. I have been teaching for over 30 years but I have been at this school for 2 years. Since I have been working at this school it seems like everything I do in my classroom it's something wrong with it according to my supervisor. Recently, I was told that I am not getting a new contract for the new school year. I have to find a new school. I was told that I am not a good fit for the school.

Please pray for me. I’m going back into the classroom soon. I praying for all of you too. This may be a rough reentry. But I know God is with us. He can absorb the bounce.
