First Day

Today is the day...my first teacher work day, not writing names frantically on everything and getting ready to see 20 smiling faces, but my first day as a STEM teacher.  I never thought I would be saying that.  It is definitely a different feeling getting ready to meet 34 classes for the first time in the next five days.  There is a lot of different worries and anxieties.

• How will I know all their names?
• I have 50 minutes with each...did I plan enough or too much?
• Am I planning something that is engaging?
• Will I have time to get all supplies in order and ready to go?  

In the last two days, I did learn to program two different robots.  Now that was cool!  

I have my lesson plans done for the first week...team building 101.  I can't wait to see what all these little scientists think and discover this year!
