Ashley from Fierce in Forth is hosting this fun blog hop! What a great idea! Follow this blog hop and list 3 things you are jittery about for the first day of school.
I have been teaching for 12 years and I still get nervous on the first day of school. I don't know about you, but I always have nightmares before school starts about not being prepared for kids on that first day.
1. What I'm most nervous about this year is not only changing from 7th grade to 6th grade, but moving into math. Our scores weren't great last year in math and so the administration is really watching us and pushing us to get those scores up. That makes me nervous.
2. Moving to a new grade level also means working with a new team. Even though I've been at this school for 11 years, I always get jittery about working with new people and how we will all get along. I'm going to be the only new one on an awesome 6th grade team. Great group of teachers in 6th grade, and I hope I can step up and be just as great as they are!!
3. This doesn't have anything to do with my classroom, but I'm nervous about my "baby" starting school this year. He will be in pre-k. He's been going to the same baby sitter since he was 3 months old and even though he's excited about school, he still talks about going to "Kimmie's" house. I just hope he loves school as much as I do.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you link up with us!!

I'm in my third year, and I thought that's why I still get so anxious! Glad to know it's not just me! :)

Thanks for following my blog! I just joined your blog. I have been needing to organize my closet too and I'm loving what you did with yours!
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog hop! :)
ReplyDeleteHaving a fantastic team sets the tone for the entire year. I hope everything works out as planned in 6th grade! I'm moving to a new team as well... three first year teachers, myself, and a veteran. We've been meeting all summer and I can not wait to work with them!!

I love your blog Katie! I'm a little overwhelmed though! I want to know more about the blog hop!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's taken me a while, but I think I'm starting to figure it out. I'm amazed at how many bloggers there are out there! Ok, the blog hop puts everyone's button (if you've joined the hop) on their website. You can click on someone's button and it takes you to their page. The cool part is, you don't have to go back to the original blog to look at all the other members, because their buttons appear on everybody's page. Does that make sense? Anyway, it's a great way to find new blogs and to get new followers. At the end of each blog hop it says Now you're next, enter here. Just follow the instructions and your in!! So simple and pretty cool! Hope that wasn't too confusing...:)
