The Day After A Sub

Well tomorrow should be interesting! I had a sub this afternoon for seriously the 6th time since school started....math department meetings galore. The day after a sub always seems to be a bit challenging but I am really excited to see how tomorrow goes because my sub today was amazing!! My meeting today was in a conference room at my school so I was able to pop in on my sub twice to get a feel for how things were going. She had them quietly working and no one was walking around the room. (This has been a problem with the past couple of substitutes.) Needless to say, I am super excited and hoping tomorrow will be just like any other day rather than "the day after a sub". Will keep you posted :)

P.S. Cheer loud for the HOGS this weekend!!! Wooooo Pig Sooie!!

Does it EVER calm down?!

This seems to be a questions I ask myself frequently. I know the answer is yes (a little) but I'm not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel yet! I officially had to take my first sick day this week, thank you stomach bug 2010 and my oh-so-kind students that decided to share with me. After a test this week hopefully I will see some great grades that make me feel a lot better regarding the craziness of a first year teacher. Hope everyone is having a fabulous week...take a nap for me if you can!! ;-)

Fast and Furious

Well two weeks down and how many more to go?! Just kidding! The past few weeks have been a great experience and I feel like I continue to learn something new everyday. I wanted to share how crazy the last 3weeks of my life have been. School started on a Thursday this year and the Sunday night before I was called by a principal in the Springdale School district to come in and interview Monday afternoon. Of course I jumped at the opportunity and less than 24hrs later I found out I "unofficially" had the job and needed to be at parent night in less than 2hrs. I was so excited, overwhelmed, and not to mentioned STRESSED!!!! Wednesday I signed my contract and Thursday morning started school. What a crazy experience but such a blessing at the same time. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience. The teachers I work with have been AMAZING and SO helpful. Looking forward to a great first year :)
