Week 1: Back to school tomorrow!

We will post these by weeks.... Introduce yourself as to a first name, what grade and what subject you teach (do not include your last name or your school). And share how you are... How are you? We may want to use the teaching phases: Anticipation, Reflection, Disillusion, Survival, Rejuvenation (Know that people will be responding to your posts and offering their insights and advice.) Start with what is working? What challenges did you face this week? (classroom management, discipline, content...) What whoo-hooo celebrate a success? (about your kids, your team, your school, your own successes) What advice have you figured out?


Greetings!  My name is Bethany and I teach 7th grade Social Studies.  Currently, I am both highly-anticipatory and I'll be honest, slightly reluctant as we start our 2016-2017 school year tomorrow.  I can't wait to spend time with all 106 of my new students, getting to know them and establishing classroom procedures and relationships.  However, I always enjoy my summer freedom and laziness so much, it is with reluctance I go back to work tomorrow.  I'll post again in response to the other questions later in the week.  Good luck to everyone else starting back this week, too!  As always, I have to remind myself that these kids are going to need a few adjustment days to get back into the routine of school.
