When do you start???

Re: I'm getting so nervous about my new job....

I start teaching next Wednesday. It was just such a last minute surprise that I this job that I feel SO unprepared. And everything I do to try to prepare, I get so nervous that I get a mental block

Re: I'm getting so nervous about my new job....

Relax!!! Everything will be great!! This is what you worked for. Enjoy it!!! The nerves will go away after you first class!!!

Re: I'm getting so nervous about my new job....

Just remember, the kids coming into your class are just as nervous as you are!! Try and stay calm, play a quick game to start to calm all of you down.

Don't worry Rachel you got the music in you!!!!

Re: I'm getting so nervous about my new job....

I am always a bit nervous on the first day of school and I've been in this profession for 10 years! Just take a couple of deep breaths and you will always find someone to help you. When do the teachers go back? You are going to have a lot of fun this year and have a rewarding experience. Just have fun and be tough!

Re: I'm getting so nervous about my new job....

I just want to add that you can't be totally prepared for the school year until after the first day of school. Just do the little things that you can do and the rest will come to you in no time.

Re: I'm getting so nervous about my new job....

Thanks everyone. I'm going in today to finish setting up my classroom, so hopefully once that's done my nerves will calm down! Thanks for the support girls!

You'll Be Fine
Lots Of Luck To You

Re: I'm getting so nervous about my new job....

I think it's normal to be a bit nervous starting a new job. Don't worry everything will be great

Re: I'm getting so nervous about my new job....

I think you are going to be great!! It's natural to be nervous about a new job, after a week you'll be wondering what you worried about in the first place

Re: I'm getting so nervous about my new job....

Dont worry, its a normal feeling, but once you get there it will slowly go away and you will be just fine. Good luck!

Re: I'm getting so nervous about my new job....

Rachel... good luck!!! I know you will do very well. LaNae loves the school and says the poeple there are so nice! She will help you with anything you need. She is such a lovely person. You will have a great time there! Don't stress too much (although I know you will- just like all teachers at the beginning of the year- it's just natural!).

I feel like that every back to school. I wonder what idiots are going to trust me with educating their children. Then once I walk into that classroom, everything changes. If you didn't worry, then I would wonder. A good teacher puts a a lot of thought and ocnsideration into their profession. You'll be wonderful- I can tell! Good luck!
