Calm before the storm.

Today marks the last day of training, and I begin teaching on Monday! While the past week was great- filled with more lesson planning, classroom management, and student “investing” information than I previously thought possible in a week, I still feel slightly unprepared to actually *teach* the students. I am concerned that they are so far behind. I don’t want my lack of pedagogy and content knowledge hurting the possibility for them to catch up to there peers in these short 16 days of summer school… I guess that just provides more incentive to learn as much as I can, and I could not ask for more resources.

Regardless, the classroom posters are created, the jelly bean jar is ready to be filled for good behavior, and the parent letter is writing in English AND Spanish. I meet my kids tomorrow, and I will let you know how everything goes!

I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July. Remember to wish my dad a happy 50th and my parents a happy anniversary!!!

PS: I forgot to upload this until Tuesday, but I am sure my parents would still appreciate the warm wishes.
