Hiya... I'm back..well kinda

I haven't been posting because its my first year teaching and i've been stressing out way too much... although most of you already knew that....


But for now on.. so keep some sanity, I am going to make it a point to make sure I come on here for at least 5 minutes a day.. I havent even thought about our wedding since i started teaching and i'm going through withdrawal!!! I need LIW girlies to help me keep sane!!

Re: Hiya... I'm back..well kinda

Hey Megan!!! Here's to ur sanity!!! we missed you!! Hope the teaching is going well. September is almost over!

Re: Hiya... I'm back..well kinda

I missed you guys too!!!! My class is horrible!! They do not listen for anything. Half have already repeated third grade and they don't seem to care. I've tried different types of reward programs that work for the first day and then they again don't care. I honestly made myself sick last week over it and i wanted to quit. I didnt eat from sunday until friday night and threw up all week long over it.. bright side i lost about 7 pounds but not worth it... So now i go in with the attitude that i am going to do my best to get to the students that want to learn. Other than that. i dont know what else to do... so i need to stop thinking about the class for some time during the night and thats when i will come here to you girls and think more about my wedding!!!

GOOD LUCK! and yes, we are ALWAYS on!

Re: Hiya... I'm back..well kinda

AHH im going to be a teacher and now your making me nervous!!!! I am sure you will get the hang of things and i am sure you are a GREAT teacher. Don't let a few students discourage you, bc it is the one's you incourage that will bring you the most satisfaction, making your job all worth it!!!

Good luck !!!!

Re: Hiya... I'm back..well kinda

Hi, this is my sixth year teaching and I can promise you that it gets easier as you go along. This is going to be a very hard year for you, I won't lie, but my advice is to not take ANYTHING home with you. If you must write lesson plans at home, do that, but try to get all your schoolwork done at school and let your home be your sanctuary. If the kids are driving you nuts, ***** and moan about it in the Teachers' Lounge, make phone calls to parents from the school office, and when you step out of the door at 3:00, LEAVE IT at the door and don't think about it until you walk back through the next day. Easier said then done, I know, but with your upcoming wedding you have enough to obsess about at home - throw yourself into it and have yourself a good distraction. After all your hard work during the day, you'll deserve it! Best of luck to you, and I know you probably hear this from everyone, but it's really true - it gets easier.
