Ahhh! School starts in 5 days! It's been a mix of emotions while getting ready for this new middle school adventure. I'm making the jump from 4th grade to 8th grade English, but I think it was a much needed change. People keep telling me horror stories about middle school kids (P.S. why do people feel the need to tell horrific stories when someone is starting a new adventure in their life?) but I hope I can be a mature, flexible, quick on my feet enough person to cope. I remember last year that I was extremely stressed out... as in I was so in the dark about planning that I would get to school at 6:30 and not leave until 7:00 PM!!! I think this year will be better... at least I know what to expect out of my curriculum, my principal and, and my self.
Added into the mix is me starting a doctoral program at SFA. That means three classes on Monday and Tuesday. I guess I will have to be prepared, and prepared early to deal with middle school kids and college level material. Whew!
Tonight we have meet the parents, and I think it will be fun. I am anxious to see the kids that I will have in my class. In the midst of all the scary stories, I have to keep reminding myself... "They're just kids, Callie, just kids. "
