I'm excited (and terrified) for September! It will be my second year of teaching, but I'll be in a new school and teaching high school Latin. This was my ultimate goal last year when I was searching for a job, so I have arrived doing my dream job! If I do well, I'll know I have what it takes.
Besides the fact that it's a new school, new classroom, new environment etc, I'm also nervous because I'm going back to school in the fall part-time. I have one evening class on Wednesdays that involves a lot of preparation and will ultimately have me writing a paper I can turn into an article. I've never been to grad school before (or paid grad school tuition prices!!!!), so I'm not sure what to expect. I guess it'll be a good way to get my feet wet!
In the meantime, I'm trying to bang out some planning/organization, both with just classroom set-up and my teacher binder as well as the content I'll be teaching. One class I'm worried about is the one class I have full of Latin 3/4 students. I have never had a split-level class like that before, and I'm in a new school and it's my second year. Ahhhh! But I am excited... I've already got a lot of ideas, thanks to latinteach.com, edutopia, and Pinterest.
Will blog more later!!!
