I'm a Teacher...


What a mix of emotions I have felt the past 2 months! There is no way to be fully prepared for your first year of teaching. The first few weeks I felt like a cartoon character, whose body was bending abnormally away for a bullet or arrow. I was just barely one step ahead in everything: lesson planning, lining everyone up, etc. 

Reflecting on the past 2 months, I see growth. Not only in me as a teacher, but in my students. We know each others names, I know what I can expect, and they know my expectations, our routine is set {although I am changing it up a bit this week}, I know my daily duties as their teacher, the list goes on and on. Our biggest victory is walking QUIETLY in a LINE down the hall!!!! We did it!!! Every time I turn around to look at them, I am in awe that these 13-14 three and four year olds are MY responsibility. What an honor!

Now that the waters have calmed down a bit, I can invest time in documenting this fun, new adventure! Keep up on the latest happenings by following this blog. Over the course of the next few days, I will write a blogpost for each of the units we have done thus far!

I am excited to share my first year teacher journey with you!
