Even though I have been in my room off and on since the second week of July ... yes, the second week of July ... today was the first official day back.
It was nice to be back, but weird.
I wasn't the newbie anymore. I mean it's only my second year, but there were like 5 or 6 newbies. I wasn't one being totally embarrassed (in a good way) as I was being introduced to the entire staff. In a way I was glad, but yet I felt a little left out. Fortunately I feel a bit more experienced than last year. At least I knew what was being talked about when it came to certain things!
However, whenever veteran teachers would walk through my room to get from one side of the school to the other more quickly than walking down a hallways they were very envious of the fact that my room was completely set up! I am very proud of that fact.
So since I did not have to set up my room I spent today helping others. It made me feel good. I helped a new teacher who was literally hired yesterday. I gave her bulletin board paper. I helped another co-worker set up his computer. I loaned just about everything to my partner-in-crime Elizabeth. Elizabeth, you owe me big time! Ha! God says we are to be of help to others. I feel accomplished today!
However, tomorrow, I must get some other things done. Meet the Teacher night is Friday. I need to get my packets together for that. I would have done that today however the copier kept getting jammed up. No bueno!
