What I "Wore":
Most of what you see here I own, a few things like the boots and flats are similar but not exact since the ones I own are a few years old.

This was my first week of teaching my own lesson plans in my core history class for the entire week. It was exhausting, during the day I'd either be prepping for the lesson, teaching, or modifying the lesson to better meet the needs of the student. Then, I'd go home and make sure my lesson plan was set to go for the next day/write lesson plans for another day.
Things I Learned:
End of the school day by no means end of the work day. Most days I'm staying two hours after school lets out to finish up grading or prepping. Then, when I do eventually get home, I'm still working on school stuff.
Things I Still Need to Learn:
Still working on that classroom management! It's the bane of my existence.
Memorable Moment of the Week:
I'm currently teaching the students about the industrial revolution, and Thursday I had half the class pretend they were working in a factory. One of the roles was a 9 year old factory worker who cried a lot. I asked one student in one of the classes that I knew would really run with it to play the kid in the factory. He was so hilarious but also very helpful in making the environment uncomfortable so the kids could get an idea what it would be like to work in the factory with a child. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants a few times.
Looking Forward To:
Right now, I'm looking forward to all this being over, its so tiring!
Honest Thoughts:
See above.
5 weeks down, 7 to go! Next week we will be halfway done....I'm so ready for normalcy again!
