A month of teaching and I am still standing

I just gave the 4 and 1/2 week progress reports to my homeroom students. This is the only way that I know that it has been a little over a month of teaching. It has been a blur of attempting to make lessons, working on classroom discipline, pledges of allegience, locker dismissals, homeroom announcements, receiving paper after paper in my mailbox, grading papers, "monitoring halls", and even a fire drill.

I adore it all!

No two days are the same and my fellow teachers have supported me on those days where nothing was going well. I have been continually challenged to be my best at all times, to balance sharing with my own work, to work in a team and individually, to care for these students and sometimes have to make the tough calls home for their best interest.

It is such a change for me to be in love with my career but that is exactly where I am. I love teaching, I am glad to have had the experiences from years past, and I look forward to a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG career in teaching!

Middle School Rocks!!!

Eeeeee
