Today was my first day teaching since the first week of school.
I’ve had a student teacher with me the first seven weeks of school, and since it was such a short time, I wanted to her to get the most out of her time with me. I pushed her into teaching full time pretty quickly. A lot of teachers love having a student teacher – they’re able to sit back, relax, give a little feedback, and take a break. I, personally, hated it! I would sit at my desk and tap my foot, (not rudely, don’t worry), and bite my tongue so I wouldn’t interject with an exciting topic. It was extremely difficult!
Today, I was back.
I had a late night over the weekend, and we have conferences until 8pm tonight, but I have never felt so energized on a Monday morning. I was exciting to get up, move, and talk to my students. I loved leading the discussions, helping with questions, and making jokes.
It was the best Monday I’ve had in a long time 🙂
