I was in a similar situation. I was hired as a long term sub, expecting it to last until Christmas break, but the teacher came back much earlier than any of us expected (including her doctor). She was in the room with us off & on as she was recovering, and then with us full time the 2 weeks before I officially left. She gradually took over more & more activities, so the move was pretty smooth. During that time we explained that I had come in to get the school year started for Mrs X & the class and that I would be "moving on" to another class/school that needed my help. In actuality, there was no other school; I became an on-call sub. Your group is old enough to understand the idea of you being a "sub", so you can try to give the impression that you do this stuff all the time, coming in & helping out for as long as you're needed, etc. but your job here is now done & you need to move on to your next assignment, kind of like an "agent" on "assignments". Let the kids know that you love them, will miss them and you'll try to come back for a visit or maybe fill in for Mr Z when he's away. Then, with the new teachers permission, actually try to make good on that promise, at least once. I'm going to get the chance to sub for my "old class" later this week & I can't wait to see them. Good Luck on your transition!
