TamiJ, I have new hire district orientation on July 30. Then on August 13, 14 and 15 I have in-service and prep days in my building. And August 14 is Open House for students and their families. School starts on August 18! Sheilah
Sounds like a similar schedule as ours. Most teachers return back on the 12th for meetings and prep and school starts on the 18th.
I am really looking forward to first grade. I will have them all day and that can open up so much. I have only subbed in first grade, and then only a couple of times. It is a great age, isn't it? Sheilah
Let us know if you want any ideas for resources, etc! I have only taught it for 2 years but I would love to help if I can. There are many on these boards who have been teaching it a lot longer than I have. They are a LOT of fun. They LOVE their teacher and LOVE learning anything new! They are very funny and constantly keep me on my toes. I am actually switching to fifth next year, but I'm glad I started in first - it's been a wonderful experience that I will always treasure. :wub:
Congrats, DressageLady! I've seen you all over the forums, and I know you were putting a lot in to your search. I'm so happy for you!
Thank you so much! This board has been such a great resource. The collective knowledge and feedback has been so helpful to me over the past year. Sheilah
