Eeeeeek I start my full load of teaching today in about 35 minutes and I am kinda sorta freaking out. Even though I have been teaching 5/6 classes, we are starting a new unit today and all of the lessons were planned by me...completely. So many things are running through my mind right now....likeeeee...what if my lessons are stupid? What if I tried to plan too much for them? What if I trip and fall in front of the class or have toilet paper stuck on my shoe or something and start off the next few weeks with something really embarrassing? I planned for this unit 2 plays, one story book, one class learning how to read a book in Spanish to their parents, and a flipbook project, so needless to say I am a little nervous that all of this will be too much and I will just work myself to death.
With all of this said, I am really excited to be able to experience what it is like to be a full time teacher! Wish me luck friends! :-)
Teachers spend so much of their day being "judged" on their performance by children that after awhile, it becomes a non-issue. We learn how to have a thick skin :)
