First Week Over... and I Survived!

I can't believe I just made it through one whole week of teaching! The kids have been great! No real major problems; I just have a pretty diverse class as far as the level each kid is on. It will be quite a challenge reaching all of them at the same time. I don't want to make the slower kids lost, but I don't want to bore the "faster" kids. They are all very patient with me as I get our routine down and help them to remember their routine. I was able to meet a lot of their parents this week also at Back-to-School Night. None of them were really scary. They all seemed pretty supportive of me and are willing to help out with whatever I need, which is great, because I am going to need it! I am still putting up my classroom little bits at a time every day, so I will take a few pictures next week and post them so you all can see my home away from home! :) I still feel very unorganized as far as what I am teaching every day. I think my favorite motto at the moment is "Fake it until you make it!" It seems to be the story of my life! Anyway, I better get to work on planning for next week. Thank you all for your support! I couldn't do it without you!
