Ok I'm feeling very overwhelmed right now. I just found out I got a teaching job but it starts the day after we get back from our honeymoon. I'm so nervous bc I don't know how I'm going to lesson plan, set up a classroom and do all that stuff (esp as a 1st year teacher) and plan the rest of our wedding. Oh did I mention I'm also completing my masters at the end of this month too-someone shoot me! I told FH to search my bag to make sure I don't bring any work with me on the HM bc I can never relax. Just looking for some encouraging words of wisdom!

Don't get too stressed out...you can't plan too much in advance anyway until you get settled in with your class. Just get some activities planned before your wedding; enough to last 2-3 days. You'll find time to plan/adjust when you get home from school your first couple of days. Good luck, and congratulations!!!

Re: Feeling Stressed
Try to relax and think of all the positive things that are going to happen for you in the coming months. Best of Luck to you with your new job teaching. I ALWAYS wanted to be a teacher, but things didn't work out for me the way I wanted them to.
Be strong and good luck. Enjoy your honeymoon and DON'T bring any work with you. Somehow things just always seem to work out.

Re: Feeling Stressed
How long is your HM?
Ask if you can go in before and set up your room. Or maybe ask your mom/BMs to help you set up as a wedding gift.
You will have almost all of august free it sounds. So devote 2 hours per day to planning the first few weeks.

Re: Feeling Stressed
Congratulations on your new job!
Don't stress a thing girl. Prepare a basic lesson and your classroom decorations in advance (you still have time) and then when you get back you wont have to worry about a thing. Once you get yourself situated in your classroom plan in detail.
As far as school goes, ugh I have two more semesters left so be happy that you're almost done !!!!

Re: Feeling Stressed
Congrats on the job twin! I am a teacher as well. We start orientation at 8:30 on the day we get home from our HM and we land at 1:00 AM so that should be a great time for me as well. As far as setting up, I spoke to my principal and he told me to come in a few days in August to set up. Although it is not my first year teaching, I will still be stressed out beyond belief. I would just make sure you have enough prepared for your first week of school. Do alot of community building activities and getting to know you stuff. You will be fine. Dont stress!!! We are almost there

Re: Feeling Stressed
Thanks for all your advice!! They will let me go in early to set up which is good I just feel like I'm going to be so lost. I have no idea what I'm doing or who is supposed to be helping me-if anyone. Thanks again!

Re: Feeling Stressed
Relax. I just finished my first year of teaching and although it is stressful, you'll get through it. The first and last week of school is the easiest to plan for so don;t worry. I am unsure of what grade you teach but on the first day you can do some 'getting to know you' activities. You will mostly be going over rules and procedures. Try to get as much done as you can before the wedding. As for orientation, I feel your pain. I am getting married September 2 and have to report to work starting August 25 for training and meetings that run until the day before my wedding Then we are taking a mini vaca because the first day of school is Tuesday. So we, along with the rest of the teachers getting married will be a bit tired I can assume. Just remember everything always works out in the end.
