Week one is now finished! YAY! How did it go. I wish that I could say. I'm still in that foggy state of blah from surgery. Almost like I lost a little of my brain in the process. I feel like I've done a great job in all of the millions of get to know you activities that we do over and over and over the first weeks of school. But when I sit down at the end of the day to think of how my lessons went and what I would change all I can think is, "What did I do today again." My plan book is turning into more of a journal to help me remember. Kind of scary.
I have an awesome team this year which is a big change from last year. Last year, the first year, I was hired at 10:30pm the second day of new teacher orientation week. FUN! So in 7 short days I had to come to the conclusion that I've landed my dream job, set up a classroom from scratch, and realize that little bodies were going to be walking through my doors in 7 days. Thank God for my mentor teacher because my team had nothing to offer me. This year my team is like a dream! We have the one odd nut, but she's workable and not able to be so bossy this year! HAHAHA!!!
I'm excited about actually digging into lessons next week and getting to know my afternoon class. My homeroom kids are sooooooooo unbelievably good. I know it's the honeymoon stage, however, if past holds true I have the cream of the crop this year as far as attitudes, behavior, and ability. Another HUGE change from last year.
Hoping to be able to remember what I teach next week!!!! I need to be patient with my recovery.
P.S. I think my classroom looks adorable!!!
