Back to School!

Hi y'all! It has been one crazy week! I had to report to school on Monday and it has been super busy since I started. I have stared new jobs before, nothing like in a school though. Wow.. I knew teachers did a lot, but never even imagined all they do not only in class, but behind the scenes. I have a whole new level of respect for them! Just on my elementary campus- we have buildings A-E and you have to walk outside to get to each building. It is literally like a campus, I am still trying to figure it out! In Pre-K though 2nd grade we have almost 2,000 students!!! Crazy!

I was able to go Monday and meet me teachers, I am working with mainly one, but helping out in another class sometimes too. When I was hired, I was told I would be in pre-k, but when I got there I realized it was actually kindergarten! They told me wrong on the phone. I was so excited, because even though pre-k would have been fun, in the future I either want to be a kindergarten or 1st grade teacher, so this is so much better for me! And not to mention my teachers are great. They have both been teaching for a long time and are super experienced. They are also very much like me when it comes to teaching styles. They are super structured and ocd about everything. I love it and love how they have schedules for everything. Needless to say I am so excited. I knew the moment my first day was over, I had found my calling. I was so happy and loved every minute of it. I CAN'T wait until I get to have my own class!

So Monday and Tuesday were "meet the teacher" so I was up at the school until around 8pm, but it was a blast and I love our kiddos! It will def. be challenging, but I am so thankful to be with teachers that have so much knowledge to share with me, so when I become a teacher it will be a little easier. Today was my first day where I worked my normal schedule, 8:30-3:00. It was a LONG day full of meetings after meetings, but it was so nice to be home by 3:15! Even though our last few days have been long and stressful, our PTA has been awesome! They have catered us in lunch and snacks all week and we got two Jenks West t-shirts! Fridays are "casual" days ONLY if you wear Jenks Spirit stuff. So we are only allowed to wear jeans on Fridays, if we wear a Jenks shirt. So I will most likely be accumulating lots of those! I am also getting a Jenks Harley & Maude necklace made. I'm so excited!

Tomorrow is the official first day of school and I am really excited but super nervous. I have just gotten use to the classroom and the teachers, now I have to be add in the kids ha! I am ready to get to know them all, but I know it will be stressful, at least for the first couple of weeks. I have been exhausted this week, I mean I am already in bed ha! This weekend is going to consist of lot of sleep!

I have had so much fun being off for the past month, I have loved getting to spend so much time with friends. I was able to have hang out/have dinner/lay out last week with my good friend Tayler. Mitch and I also went golfing saturday morning with Peter and Scott. It was so fun and because of the move we haven't really had time to play much this past month, but we both played surprisingly well. There are so may golf courses in Tulsa that have great cheap deals, and since I get home by 3, we are going to be playing a lot in these next few months!

Well, I will try and do a post about my first day soon, but I can't promise anything. Please say a little prayer for me, I am super nervous for tomorrow! I hope everything goes smooth! Hope y'all have a good Thursday!!
