I wi...Thank you for your wonderful words of wisdom! I will be a first year teacher this year and know that I will need to remember to "slow down to speed up" from time to time. I am a little nervous because a teacher on my team made the comment that "by day two she is running out of things to do" and that it will be time to start working on curriculum. I know that I will not be able to do that by day two, as there are so many community building activities that I want to do in my new classroom. I am nervous as a first year teacher about how to handle this. I don't want to seem like I am taking too much time before I start teaching curriculum, but I also know that in order to effectively reach my students.. I need to have established good procedures and built a community in my classroom. Any advice? <br /><br />Ashley<br /><i><b><a href="www.secondgradeparadise.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">That's So Second Grade</a></b></i>The Writing Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240877691362330249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-20131721510465659502012-07-08T20:39:35.862-07:002012-07-08T20:39:35.862-07:00Kelley, thanks for your sweet comments.
