Well, it has been a week plus a day since I started in my new classroom. Talk about hitting the ground running! Since I am teaching at a school that has both residential and day school students, we have spent the week getting to know each other and adjusting to the changes that naturally must occur whenever there is a personnel change. At the same time, I have been navigating the ins and outs of a new school system. However, I am loving every minute of it. I am surrounded by supportive people who maintain a positive outlook each day. I feel I have returned back to my roots and am excited to see what the future holds. Right now, I have been focusing on getting to know my students and setting up my classroom. (Plus spending some time stressing about having to teach math and science again.) After Labor Day, all the fun and games will be set aside and the real business of learning will begin. While the beginning of a new year is always exciting and full of promise, I can honestly say that this is the most excited I’ve been about a new school year in a long time. Let the adventure begin!
