I am currently sitting in my classroom watching as my last final exam of the school year is being taken. The first year at a new school is always the hardest. It's especially been hard because: 1. It's a completely different state. 2. I went from a 7-period/day schedule to a block schedule. 3. I am teaching from a completely different textbook. 4. I teach one more section than I did last year. 5. My class sizes are about 75% larger than last year. 6. There's no in-school athletics. 7. I am teaching three different levels of class compared to teaching just one level last year.
Needless to say, it's been an adjustment. The good thing is, I am really looking forward to next basketball season because I have been offered the position of head girls basketball coach and accepted, of course. That's a goal I reached about 2 years earlier than expected.
It's nice to get this year out of the way! Thank God for summer vacations!

isn't it so nice to be done for the year? I have had many experiences with new schools that do things backwards to me at the time... but it always seems to make sense after a while. Congratulations on the head job so quick. that is really awesome.
I am currently waiting for a call from huntsville isd to say that they lifted the hiring freeze and I can come sign my contract. they offered me a job last week then put a hold on hiring for a whole week. my husband and I are so ready to move up to huntsville, small town and family there. i'll be coaching 7th and 8th grade cross country and track... pretty easy!! my husbands uncle is the athletic director. he kindof pulled some strings!!
