New teachers work non-stop, don't they? At least this one does! I just finished my first week of teaching and I was simply exhausted this morning! Whew! I can tell you that I could feel the weight lift slightly after a successful first day. When the rubber meets the road and the planning has worked, it's a relief, isn't it? I can see how the day is going to work and I am successfully putting my giant puzzle together. Nothin' like a puzzle with no picture, hugh? :)
I had a great week and I love my class. They are precious and wonderfully sweet. They are also funny and I laugh with them a lot. I love to encourage them and help them figure things out. They are pumped about my ideas and seem to really love being together. We are a happy group and I am excited to see them grow over this next year.
My heart is full! Now to get back to grading and planning for next week...you mean I have to go back and do it all over again next week??????? :)
