I know, I know. I promised to write and I haven't. Let me explain. I have been out of town a lot this summer, and when I've been home, I've been working in my classroom. I am getting so excited about teaching. I always knew that it was part of who I was, and I truly feel like I'm in the right place doing the right thing. That feels really good.
This week is going to be crazy. Tomorrow "work" starts and Thursday is orientation for my class. Right after orientation, I leave to go and meet my family for vacation in Gulf Shores. I have so much left to do and I have to admit that I feel a little unprepared, but I'm sure it's just the "new-ness" of it all. I am ready, however, to take on the task before me. I'm sure everyone feels like they can conquer the world when they start something new. But I like that feeling, and I hope it continues.
I've slowly been reviewing my curriculum- practicing some of my lessons and writing down ideas. I feel like I'm totally in my element. I'm sure there will be a few bumps in the road, but I know that I'm equipped to handle them. Bring it on!
