The contract has been signed, the salary agreed upon, the training completed, and the students registered. Tomorrow, I get the keys to my first classroom, my first real job! This week will be full of staff development meetings, setting up my room, and lesson planning to prepare for the 200+ 8th grade physical science students that will be entering my class in 1 week. I've already decided that there is no chance I'm collecting daily homework from them (I will lose my mind way too quickly!). Add onto that that the only other PhysSci teacher at my school is only just starting her second year in the classroom. Welcome to Ms. Jackson's room, half of the class of 2017.
As if that's not stressful enough, try being a first year grad student as well! I'll be pursuing my M.Ed. degree in Curriculum and Instruction. Student and teacher simultaneously? CAKE.
Oh yeah, and I'm getting really involved this year in HOBY Nevada...while still being one of the directors in HOBY Utah...
And when my principle heard about my experience with HOBY, she asked me to be in charge of the student council at our school.
Like I said, BRING IT ON! And while I say that, here's what I'm really thinking...
P.S. Please note the sarcasm in my over-confidence :) I am not really that cocky.
I love you!
