Five Things I Thought During Teacher Week

Today I'm linking up with Kacey at Doodlebugs Teaching for Five for Friday! 

This post is actually about last week, which was Teacher Week. This week was the first week I had my new group of kiddos, so as you can definitely know I am one tired teacher! #teachersunderstand

Anyways, this post is about several things I kept thinking to myself during teacher week. Stay with me all the way to the bottom - there's a giveaway going on!

Will I get my room set up in time?

Before:

At the end of the 15-16 school year we had to completely pack up our classrooms and turn in our keys to prepare for the new carpeting. Not only that, but we had to take down our bulletin boards for painting, and well, they would have gotten super dusty anyway. As I went through the first week, I was in complete panic mode worrying if I’ll get it all put together in time! Don’t worry – I did, and I can’t wait to share what my new classroom looks like with you, so check back on Sunday!

Will I still remember how to teach?

Wait, what do I need in a lesson plan again? How do I choose students to call on? What do I do if a student acts up?  These thoughts are still in my head, so hopefully next week I’ll remember what I need to do! #fingerscrossed

WHY IS THE COPIER BROKEN RIGHT NOW!? 

I'm actually still thinking this. One of the copiers has been broken for nearly two weeks. During Teacher Week AND the first week of school!

Wow, this is a lot of work.

From letters I sent prior to the first day of school,





To laminating and cutting a million things,




to decorating my door (and the rest of the room, of course!),



to setting up for Meet the Teacher Night,








Enough Said.

 

I can't wait to meet my new group of Corriganites!

If I wasn’t in such a panic about getting my room put together, this would have been number 1. I can’t wait to get to know my new students, and see my old kiddos from years past.

These past two weeks have flown by, and everything is a complete blur! I am beyond happy that it is Friday, and even happier that tomorrow is Saturday.
