Well, the past three days have had more ups than downs. Here's a breakdown:
Pros:
*new administration that says what they mean and mean what they say
*concrete rules, expectations, and procedures in place from day 1
*students shared what they think 'good' teachers and 'good' students do
*reputation as one who can 'quiet a class down' (THAT'S SO AWESOME!!)
*compliment from a department chair on how well-run my classroom is
Cons:
*very large classes (34 kids!! no aide)
*disrespectful students (already made 3 phone calls home)
*technology not working properly in my room
*feeling unprepared
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I know that some of the cons will work itself out as our numbers settle. Still, I can't wait for this three day weekend, glory hallelujah!!
