Ashley at Fierce in Fourth started a blog hop to share 3 "first day jitters." As I am starting a new year in a new district and new building, I definitely have some jitters!
1) I'm moving up from 2nd grade to 5th grade. I'm pretty sure most of the kids are going to be as tall, if not taller, than I am! This is a huge change in curriculum and the state is changing over to using Common Core for math and ELA in addition to new standards for social studies and science. I have so many ideas that I'm not sure where to start!
2) I don't know anyone in my building yet except the principal! Is my teaching team going to like me?!? Are they going to care about my ideas?!?
3) I hate not having a plan. I wish I could meet with my team NOW and find out what they do for reward systems, homework policies, etc. It would really help me with all of my planning.
Do you have any advice for me? Link up and share your jitters!
