Today was the 1st day of school in Paulding County. I went back to work on Monday to start getting my room ready but we didn't have to report until Wednesday. Crazy .. they expected us to get all of our stuff ready in 2 days. Well, one really because last night was open house. Going back to work has so many highs and lows so I thought I'd make a list.
Lows
getting up at 5:45
leaving McKenzie - this one is the worst because I've been with her all summer
wanting to go to bed a 8:30 because I'm so tired
lesson planning - its not hard, just time consuming and I'm the only one on the hall who has taught 6th grade social studies before
talking all day long - my jaw hurts today from going over things all day
Highs
new students - its always so much fun to get to know new kids, plus last years were a little on the rough side
new classroom - everything is neat and organized and I'm constantly improving things
being department head - this one is new for me, I found out on Wednesday that I'm department head ... scary!
getting my gifted certification - YAY! after this year hopefully I'll be teaching gifted social studies next year
having Jason and McKenzie bring me flowers today - it was so sweet they came in to my 3rd period class and brought me flowers and McKenzie came running to me. I have the most amazing husband and toddler ever!
That's about it. My classes seem really great. I feel like there are a lot of boys in the class and not so much on the girls. I just love the beginning of school!
