i continue to be a complete slacker when it comes to taking pics of my classroom. [although at first sight it was ugly-as-heck so i didn't even think about taking any!] additionally, the computer at home is currently out of commission so i couldn't upload any even if i had them. checking my email randomly at j's house is annoying. i'm such a spoiled brat... my life is seriously awesome & here i am complaining about not having a computer at my beckon call. okay, getting a grip now...
my new job as 4th grade teacher is equal parts utterly amazing and beyond stressful. in the past 4 days i've crammed tremendous amounts of information into my brain: reading curriculum, daily schedule, weekly schedule, student statistics, math education, cooperative learning, school policy, writer's workshop, etc., etc., etc., etc.
on top of all that i've been trying to decorate my classroom and prepare for my first 3 days with students next week. i scrubbed their desks with brillo pads [no, seriously. they were disgusting!!!!]. i wrote their hilarious names in cursive to stick on their desks. i assigned textbooks. i created a job wall. i made a welcome bulletin board. i thought through my management plan.
j. helped me today doing all sorts of tasks that i just haven't had time to get finished [LOVE him!!]. i'll probably go in on monday to organize my library books into categories, plan lessons, and do other last minute things. tuesday we have more workshops and planning. then on wednesday the kiddos arrive!
did i mention that i can't freaking wait to meet them?!?!
