I think I know this week is going to be full of important things to accomplish and I'm beginning to become overwhelmed. After giving my topic for our research, and going to the library tomorrow, it is becoming a little more real for me. Four weeks is a short amount of time to complete all of these things that take time and hard work. What is keeping me optimistic is knowing that all of these things are beneficial and will help me so much in the long run. I have 38 other people who are going through the same thing and will help me as much as I will help them.
Is anyone else beginning to feel the stress of their classroom as well? As I look at a calendar and see how close the school year really is and how much I have to do...I'm a little nervous! How do I decide whats most important to do first, and whats most important?
Just thinking about how close the school year is and thinking about how I am no officially responsible for the education of my students....I'm getting a little freaked out. How to set up my classroom, what lessons am I teaching, how am I going to do it all! Thinking about it definitely gets my heart rate up and running! I'm sure we'll pan things out though. ....fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteHope "The Mondays" get better!
I'm having a hard time with knowing what to tackle first as well! But with classes, assignments, and work it's hard to find the time to go to school. Plus, I'm not sure when I can start on my room, or what materials I'll be provided with! Good luck, we'll all get through this together!
ReplyDeleteI am with you Molly! I am definitely beginning to feel the pressure as the assignments start to come. I am going to start being really stressed as we get further into this paper. I am also a little bit nervous for the school year to start. I would say that I am the most prepared for it, and with the CADRE assignments that we are going to have, I have a feeling we are going to have a lot on our plate once the school year starts!

ReplyDeleteI agree with you Molly! It does seem like a lot today, considering we all just decided what our topic is going to be, we will start research tomorrow, and then our paper is due a week from Thursday! I was about to say "AAAHHH!!" today! I hope I can plan everything out and get it all done. I think if we all encourage each other to stay ahead of the game, we will get it done! Good luck!! =)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way! It seems so real and it didn't really sink in until this morning how fast projects are going to be due.
ReplyDeleteI also feel nervous about the approaching school year. I don't know what my curriculum is yet and that scares me big time.
