NWR- so stressed!!!!

Girls, I need to vent!!
I have my first formal classroom observation on thursday. I thought I was all ready for it and now I don't feel prepared at all. On top of that I have so much other work for school that I can't possibly get done in time. Everyone keeps telling me to take a deep breath and relax bc it'll get done but I just need to get the stress out of my system and then pull myself together.
The worst part about it is that I have no time to do any of the fun wedding stuff. I haven't started looking for dresses and when I do I know I'm going to feel rushed.
boo to way to much school work!
I think I need to take tomorrow off from work and just concentrate on my lesson plan. I hate to take a personal day but what else can I do....

take the personal day and regroup and all will go well on Thursday. Sometimes we just need to take a day (wish I could) and also all the wedding planning will be done in plenty of time- no worries

Deep breath, relax tomorrow or catch up on things, knock their socks off on thursday then enjoy wknd and do wedding stuff

good luck!

I know how you feel, I was soo overwhelmed during my student teaching that I couldn't bring myself to finish it, I was on the verge of having a breakdown. Try to take things one day at a time, I wish I would have been able to get through it, it's definitely tough trying to juggle everything at once but you will get through it. My situation was bad bc my cooperating teacher wasnt helping, she was making my life hell. My supervisor was super anal and my advisor could care less. I felt like nobody wanted to help me get through it.

We're here for you if you need to vent or scream

Thanks for listening girls...it is much appreciated. I do feel a bit better.

This isn't even student teaching yet! It's just my fieldwork where I'm in the class one day a week. My cooperating teacher tries to be helpful but I'm in a gifted fifth grade class so these kids are absolute smartys which only makes me stress more!
Thinking about it is just making my headache worse. I'm going to take some sleep medication and go to bed.

good idea....get some rest, tomorrow is another day

Im a teacher too so I know how you feel! Your observation will go fine! Take a deep breath and pretend like your observer is not in the room. Most of the time when I get into my groove, I forget there ever there. You'll be fine!!!
