New Career - New Inspiration!

If you can't already tell by the title of my blog, I am a first year teacher preparing to teach first grade in the Fall! I am excited, terrified, motivated, terrified, thrilled, oh and did I mention terrified? Although this is my first year really teaching, I do have a little bit of experience. I've been working at a preschool since last May and I have gained SO much knowledge and experience from working there! I was a teacher assistant and now I am a lead teacher for the summer. I have been able to practice being in charge of 16 little ones while also trying to come up with exciting things to keep them occupied! I also got to decorate the classroom! Below you can see that I used a Fairy Tale theme in my classroom! Most of the kids hadn't heard of many of the Fairy Tales so of course we had to read them! They were a HUGE hit! The kids can still be seen playing "The Three Little Pigs" on the playground! :)
