Day 1:
Today was the first day of school for teachers. We met in the High School Auditorium for our welcome and overview of the school year speech. I had to have my picture taken for my ID badge (so exciting!) and then I was required to attend a new employee orientation meeting. I had time to work in my classroom after the meetings and before a Professional Development session regarding the district-wide technology programs. After lunch, my principal held a school-wide meeting to address rules, regulations, and processes for the year. I was so exhausted after attending all of the meetings today, that I decided to come home and rest!
I am very excited, and a little overwhelmed, about teaching! I feel like I have SO much left to accomplish before I meet my kids on Thursday. But, I will get it all done - I know I will.
Tomorrow and Wednesday are days of meetings and Professional Development sessions so I probably won't have much to write about then, but I'll be sure to write about my first day with my students!
I'm very excited to read along your journey. I know you will have lots of stories good and bad! I feel like the stories never end when you are in education. I pray for you to have those students who challenge your mind, and for those students that have a love for learning. I pray you have coworkers that can be sounding boards on those days that a troubled child is on that last nerve...b/c it will happen. Most importantly, remember that God is in control even when sometimes it doesn't feel like it. Love you! I'm so proud of all you have done!
