Wow! Between the beginning of a new school year, moving to a new school and setting up my classroom, and oh yeah, did I mention having an 8 month old daughter? My head is constantly swimming in all that I have to do and keep up with.
Breathe. This too shall pass.
With regards to my new digs, I love it! My students face a completely different set of challenges than my students have for the past 7 years, but their challenges are every bit as real and as difficult. I know this may sound odd, but that is one of my favorite parts of teaching - getting to know my kids and seeing what challenges they have that I can try to help them learn to overcome.
The administration is wonderful and very supportive, and I feel like their goal truly is to help their teachers grow to be equipped with the tools to face those challenges.
But my main challenge... well, they can't put more hours in the day, can they?
Sigh. I was afraid that would be a no..
