What a Whirlwind Week (Week 6)

Ever had a week that felt that it passed in an instant and yet simultaneously lasted a month? That is just about how I would describe the past seven days.

This week I began teaching my full load of classes! What a whirlwind, an exciting, overwhelming, blast of a whirlwind! I love the variability of teaching six different subjects every day to six very different groups of students. I love the challenge, the rush, the excitement. I’m not a huge fan of having no time to use the restroom or check my email but that’s just the way it goes!

While teaching a full class schedule has been a challenge, I’ve really enjoyed it and am looking forward to seeing how I grew over the next few weeks. One skill that I still really need to focus on is

my classroom management, especially with my freshmen. They have definitely been a challenge so far but I know that with persistence and some ideas from my support system, I will figure it out and make it through.

This coming week will be another one of those crazy, hectic weeks. A full class load, National FFA Week, and a University Observation look like they will add up to a memorable few days!

Wish me luck and happy National FFA Week!
