First Two Weeks

My first two weeks in the classroom were a little crazy. It seems that whenever I expect a smooth and productive day I then get the complete opposite. Of course, when I think that disaster is on the brink, these 7th graders surprise me. It has been a fun two weeks, but also completely exhausting. My schedule is pretty hectic--I arrive at the High School at 6:45 for 1st period sophomore football, teach 7th grade keyboarding during the day, then get home around 7--but I am absolutely loving it. I'm slowly getting used to the structure and confinement of teaching, and I am starting to believe that I might have my 7th graders in line by the time this semester is over!
