Well, today marks day #5. And I must say, I'm very pleased with my decision to move to 6th grade reading. I love teaching only reading. I feel very focused - I'm putting all my attention there and trusting my colleagues to do their parts in math, science, and social studies. I've done a lot of revising to my original plans - amazing how different things are once you meet the students! (And once you get the gist of their abilities!) There are also school-wide mandates coming down (as always this time of year) and new programs (RTI) and different expectations (regarding TA's among other things.) So I've got plenty to blog about - now I just have to find the energy and time!
How has your school year kicked off? (Or are you one of the lucky ones who don't go back until after Labor Day?)
