"It Does Get Better"
As time goes on, things really do get better. After NTI this summer, I feel more confident and more secure about teaching and planning. All of the things that we learned and covered this summer have been a tremendous help. As a first year teacher, the whole year last year I felt so inadequate. I did not receive as much help as I would have liked to from my colleagues. My first year consumed so much of my time that I found my self neglecting some things because I was so overwhelmed. I needed to find a system or routine that worked for me. I needed to and still need to learn to prioritize and organize better. However, I have made great strides since last year. I trust that by completing these next 2 semesters, my third year will be even better. It can only get better.
Penelope I was great seeing you this past weekend. You look great and I'm sure teaching is going well. I'm so glad to hear you feel confident about teaching and so do I. I wish you well this year and remember to do your best.
