My first first day of school. It's over, and.... I'm completely exhausted. But I am so glad it's over. I will never have to have a first first day ever again. And thats a good thing. Things went well- there were no fights, no screaming, and no one went to the safe seat (although they probably should have- I'll get them tomorrow).
It was a lot of logistics, and my first couple of classes didn't seem to into things, but it made me realize some things on my own.
Firstly, I could not get over the outpouring of support. My mentor who made me breakfast and wrote me a note, to my boyfriend who sent me a text message at 6am, to my roommate who had cookies waiting when I got home, to my fellow Fellows (thanks Mr. Hysong) who called to see how the first day went, to all the teachers who checked in on me frequently throughout the day to make sure I was surviving. I appreciated it all so much, and want to do something to help let them know that, but what? Any suggestions?
But I am exhausted. Trying to be excited about procedures and info sheets for 7 hours will wear you out, lol. And there is just so much to do, and so much to keep track of. It's daunting if you let it get to you... And we have to do it all over again tomorrow! Well, then I better be getting to bed soon.
About Me
- Becky
- I'm a thirty-something living alone with my crazy mutt who totally gets me, Toby. Welcome to the inside of my head, and I'm just going to say it ahead of time- I am really sorry if I offend you, or say something stupid, because both of those are inevitable. This is a place where I hope to seek out my tribe, learn from others, explore writing, and laugh.

YAY WE SURVIVED!! I'm so pooped right now that I could just pass right out. Monday-Wednesday it wasn't hard to wake up, but boy were Thursday and Friday a doozy to try and wake up to.
Also, not to look like a total stalker (cause I looked your blog up on Blackboard), I wanted to thank you for giving our group the idea of using graphic organizers as our topic of study for that paper. Since we did the paper, I've decided to try and make graphic organizers a major topic for me regarding the learning process of my struggling readers. I have kids ranging from pre-k level, on up to maybe 3-4th grade, as well as students who hardly speak English at all let alone write it, so having the graphic organizers will definitely come in handy. Thank you, lady!
