So This is What Death Valley Feels Like...

A study that surveyed first year teachers illustrates their attitudes towards teaching throughout the year...



I didn't really feel like this reflected my first year at all, until last week, right before break. It was a very stressful week including a child bitting me (broke the skin and left a mark that has lasted over a week) and a child peeing on me (yes, it happened). So, this is what disillusionment feels like. If only the rejuvenation stage came a little sooner... do I really have to wait until March!?

My district has a great Professional Development Department and the workshops for first year teachers are amazing. The Professional Development Office sent me the greatest gift this last week...




What a great gift! This was just what I needed to get me though the last week of school!
