My OH MY! The rigors of everyday life in a public school.

Orientation day at the school I will be teaching at was, to say the least, eventful. The school contains grades 1-4. There are approximately 400 students attending. I'm in Grade 1. I will be teaching some lessons in Science: Senses, Health, Art, and Phys. Ed. I'm sure looking forward to it. There is a small percentage of students with some reading difficulties, but I'm pretty fortunate in that the other students seem to be a fairly homogenous group. It seems I will be team teaching with another one of my classmates and his group of grade 1 students. This is greatly welcomed since we can lesson plan together.
Before today I could honestly say that I had no recollection of grade 1 what-so-ever…. All of my science training and management skills that I have attained over the last decade means NOTHING... lol., it is quite a challenge but it'll be a good one… So as I kickback and relax tonight, I say to you my reader: I don't know how these elementary teachers manage to keep their sanity!
