I have NEVER been this tired, stressed, confused, excited, and terrified before. I guess I should get used to it.
I mean, really, I had always heard that my first year would be hard... but no one prepared me for how crazy, confusing, and stressfull the three weeks before school starts would be. Good grief!
Whenever I find my camera adapter chord, I will upload pictures of my classroom. Don't hold your breath. I haven't seen it in about two years.
I really like the way it turned out. It is EXTREMELY organized. I have realized that I sweat and get really flusterd if things don't have their place. My poor students are going to think I am crazy, but it will make things flow better. Plus I will feel better when I don't have to think about a mess that has no place to be organized.
I feel pretty good about my routine and organization. The only problem I am having is lesson plans. I don't know what to do! Irving has specific things that need to be done every week... but I still don't know what to do. I think I will feel better after tomorrow when I plan with my mentor. I am such a newbie.
Even the parents noticed. Last night was meet the teacher and most of the parents asked me if it was my first year teaching. I told them that it was my first year teaching at Brown and that I had experience in teaching 5th, 7th, and 8th grades. Which is true... I just wasn't the only teacher in the room.
Basically, I am scared. I could use some prayers and some advice from my teacher friends. (Jes and Cassie.... I am talking to you) 4th graders are so little! I'm not used to it! Ah!
God is in control and all will be well. He is already there with me on my first day. I am supposed to be here. The kids in my class will know that I love them and that I wll do anything for them. This is right. Scary, but right.
Prayers!

YOU will do awesome. I work with an amazing Christian friend and we set a theme this year, "the joy of the Lord is my strength." crazy things will happen, things won't work out as planned but we choose how we respond with joy and live in the moment(this shocks people who do not now Jesus)! The more they now you love them, the more they will love you and will make an awesome classroom community. You will do so great sara, we need people like you in public schools!! Its insane how much we do and say can effect these little lives! (sorry for the novel :)
