Well it's that time again...back to school! Thankfully no students this week, just teachers. I know a week for the teachers might seem like a lot but believe me, it didn't feel like enough! So many meetings and planning...there was barely enough time to get rooms ready! We had Open House on Thursday night so our rooms had to look presentable. Physically, it was an exhausting week...I am not ready to get up so early again and next week is even earlier!! Emotionally, it was a very up and down week. I want to have a better attitude this year!! I want to be excited about teaching again!! It's been rough though because I am teaching a new grade and though I am excited about having most of the same students again I know the working with the 5th grade team is going to be a challenge. I also like the fact that I didn't have to change rooms and move all of my stuff, but I know that though I love the people who I share a building with, it's going to be hard to be away from the rest of the 5th grade at times. I feel like I don't really fit anywhere...
I'm sure things will get better once school officially starts and I get back into the swing of things. It is going to be a tough year with changes that are being made and the need to bring up our test scores, but I do think there is a sense of excitement and hope among the staff that has been missing the last couple of years.
Anyway, gotta enjoy my last weekend of freedom before the craziness begins!
