After a long hiatus away from the classroom, I am returning. The call came earlier this week that the school board had approved my application and it was now official. I was free to celebrate and share the news. Of course, that also meant my summer of relaxation was over. My mind was now in overdrive and hasn't slowed down.
Not only am I starting at a new school, in a new district, in a new state, I am starting over in a new grade level with unfamiliar standards. While this all is enough to make me feel overwhelmed, it really is the fact that I am starting my classroom over from nothing again. No classroom library, no collection of amazing lessons broken in by previous classes. Nothing.
I will be blogging throughout this year as a new teacher again. What is working, what is not, what failed miserably. I am no spring chicken right out of college but am up for the challenge. Bring on fourth grade! I am nervously excited to get things started and to be as prepared as possible in August.
