HELP! I have to go back to school next week! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I'm also a high school teacher. I already have students calling me about ideas for freshman orientation (14th). I love my job, but this is the toughest part...going back. lol

I actually feel weird this year. We're usually in meetings by now, but our schedule changed for this year, and school won't start until the 28th. I keep thinking I should be in a meeting or something.

Next week I'm going to go for a few hours a day to get my classroom/bulletin boards.

I go back the 27th, I believe. I am NOT looking forward to it. I am having an ongoing problem with my advisor- she told me a class would count, it ended up not counting, but she told me she would make an exception. Now she has gone back on her word and it is NOT responding to my emails.

At least I have a week at the beach and a week at Disney World before going back!

We don't have kids until after Labor Day, new law in Michigan..but teacher's go back last week of August so usually I don't start thinking about it for another two weeks but....................... I am the new freshman volleyball coach and the seasons just switched here so I started back Monday

AND I'm switching to the high school this year so I have to get in and unpack everything and start over again so I DEFINITELY feel your pain

I'm certainly feeling it! I've been doing stuff in my classroom for the last 2 or 3 weeks. I'm looking forward to the new group that's coming in.

This summer went by way to fast!! I am excited, but very nervous! This is my last semester in college, and I will be completing my internship. I will be teaching kindergarten for the first half of the semester, and then first grade. I take the Praxis II test in September so I can get my teaching license. I hope I make it through

I'm sure you'll do fine! Good luck. We'll be sending positive thoughts your way.

Good luck on the Praxis--I am sure you will do fine! Twenty-two years ago there was no Praxis--it was the NTE. Over the past few years, I have "added-on" several additional certifications by taking the Praxis--English (7-12), Media Specialist (librarian), and Language Arts and Reading (5-8--middle school emphasis).
