Tomorrow I officially begin my career as a teacher. Yikes...
We had open house on Friday, and the question I was dreading all week long came from the very first mother who showed up in my room: "How long have you been teaching?" She asked me this as she got out a notebook to take notes!!! I had prepared an answer that was hopefully going to deter any further probing, but no, it did not work. So, she knows that I am a very new teacher and I think she is scared for her child. Other than that, the day was great! And, I was able to use my Spanish to comfort a few parents. I think I definitely earned points in their eyes, so that was a bonus.
Anyway, look forward to more reports from the front row!!!
