The summer has come to an end, and another school year has begun. I am 6 days into my 5th year of teaching and already I am "dazed." This year has started off with more of a bang than ever before. After 6 days we have had 3 schedule changes, switched students from one team/class to the other, lost a teacher on our team, gone from five 60 minute classes to four 80 minute classes, and to top off the day today...someone wet their pants!! Don't be confused by this...I still teach 6th grade.
I have worked every night since school started and even on Saturday and Sunday! It has been busy and stressful..and I haven't been able to talk about it without crying. But, finally things seem to be getting worked out.
So far it seems like I have pretty good students (minus the few "pain in the rear end" kids that you have every year). And, I am REALLY excited that I am only teaching Math this year instead of Math and Social Studies.
So, here's to another year.... 6 days down and 174 to go.
