With 2 days of school down, I’m already starting to feel incredibly overwhelmed, particularly with the students I have in my class.  You tend to forget what it’s like at the beginning and how immature the new 4th graders are coming in at the beginning of the school year.  Granted, they do a lot of growing up, both emotionally and academically but I’ve already been warned about a couple of the students I have in my class.  I’ve spent part of the weekend going over different strategies to use next week so I can actually TEACH.  Yikes, I definitely have my work cut out for me this year!
