It's Official - I am a Teacher

It's now completely official! I am an 8th grade Math teacher at a middle school in North Fulton County. Today was my first day of New Teacher Orientation and I was super excited to get the keys to my classroom! There have been several indications that this position and career change is ALL GOD.

One - out of 25 new teachers for the middle school, I am the only new 8th grade Math teacher.
Two - my position didn't need to be filled until after the summer started.
Three - In a very weird surreal way, I personally have met a good population of the other candidates that were being considered for the position. (that is a weird feeling by the way).
Four - the 8th grade at this middle school actually went down from 4 teacher teams to 3 teacher teams.

So once again, Yeah God!

My classroom is so enormous! In a truly dorky moment, I was walking around my classroom (in my cutie outfit and super cutie heels) and realized that as I was walking around the room that I had that monitoring stance going on... :) I almost checked my watch to see if the time for the test was up :)

Eeeeee

I am so happy for you. It was already official in my mind even if wasn't truly official-official. You know what? We need to have week day lunch together before we can't have lunch until...next summer! :)
