Please have a look.
don't think it will ever be able to fall asleep. I am anxious, excited
nervous, somewhat frightened, and rather nauseated. There ore 126
new eighth grade students to meet tomorrow. They are 126 young and
impressionable people for whom I will be responsible. I need todiscover all of their names, personalities, and learning styles in order
to find the most effective means to teach them science.
It is all very overwhelming. I was Just lying in bed, in an
unsuccessful. attempt to sleep, thinking about the huge responsibility
they will face tomorrow morning. I keep rehearsing what I have
planned to do with the students for the first day. I have stood in front
of the mirror and practiced just to see what I look like while I am
teaching. I have spent nearly every weekday for the past two weeks in
my classroom to make sure 1 have everything set up. I have outlined
the entire school year mapped out approximate time frames for each
unit I will teach, and thoroughly planned my lessons for the first two
weeks of school, and still, I just cannot relax!
Overall, I am more excited than anything, it is the first day of my first
year teaching. It is what I have studied for, planned for, and dreamed
about for the last few years. I will be able to apply everything I have.
learnt in my college doors as a student teacher, and as a substitute
teacher in my very own class. I hope that I can convey to my students
my love for science. My goal is to have all of them actively involved
in my class and inquiring about their world. I will begin to make that
goal a reality in less than eight hours!
This is a milestone in my career. I have attempted to capture the
emotions that I am experiencing tonight the anticipation, wonderment,
and trepidation of a new science teacher. Now, I just hope I can falll
asleep. RESPONDING TO THE TEXT
