a day in the life...

I really wish I could stop thinking about school and things to do with school and things I need to do for school...It's SATURDAY for Pete's sake!! I'm giving myself a headache! lol!
On a positive note, I survived my first two full weeks of teaching, my first two football games, my first assembly, my first pep rally and my first IEP meeting... I think I'm on a roll!
However, I am already looking forward to Fall Break in October!

I'm settled in and survived the first full day of teaching!

It's hard to tell from these cell phone pics, but my classroom is all set up and decorated and is hopefully engaging and inspiring! :) I made it through my first full day and besides being a little frustrated at a few lazy students, it went really well!
Keep those prayers coming! I will need all the help I can get all year!!

Inservice, inservice, and more inservice...

This whole getting a job thing has been hectic! (Not that I'm complaining!) I am excited to have a job and am very much looking forward to getting started! I think I'm going to love my new school and all the people I get to work with :) (I hope they love me back lol!) I have been inserviced to death the last few days, and hope I can make some real progress in my classroom the next few days! I will have to spend my weekend with my nose in the books to start planning lessons... I really am excited! I hope this excited feeling sticks around and doesn't get replaced by an overwhelmed feeling! I am going to try my best to stay upbeat and positive and not let the potentially overwhelming parts of my job get me down. Hopefully I can post some new pics tomorrow or Friday...I really have made some progress in the room, but still have quite a bit to do.

Stay tuned...

Lots of work to do!

Ok, so here's what I have to work with...It's hard to know what to do with it yet because I'm not sure exactly how resource works down there. In my former classroom, it worked well to have the room set up to accommodate small groups, but if I'm doing whole-group instruction this year, that probably won't work. At any rate...I can't let it look like this when students arrive next week, so I am just going to spruce it up a bit and then I can always rearrange it if I see it isn't working out. I will post more pics later!

FINALLY!!

Ok faithful reader(s)...I FINALLY got a job offer today! I am going to be doing SPED again this year, but this time at the high school level rather than the middle school one... I definitely think I named my blog correctly 'cause this certainly is going to be an adventure! Thank you so much for supporting me, please continue to do so as I embark on this new adventure at a new school in a new county!!

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
