Week 1

On Monday, August 16th, I started at Bridgeport Middle School. We were required to attend the beginning of the year teacher meetings. I thought it was very exciting because it made us feel like we were more a part of the school community. Also, we were able to hear the same things that the other teachers in the building were hearing. On Wednesday, we had Open House and the Back to School Bash. Although, we didn't know what kids we were going to have in our classrooms come Thursday, it was still nice for the kids to get a chance to look around and become familiar with their new surroundings. Thursday was a half day and boy was it crazy. The sixth graders stayed in their 1st period classroom all day so that we could go over the rules with them and get them used to the school and routine. Then, came Friday. Friday was a disaster. We found out that we had to redo all of our teams schedules! It took us all day to get our 79 kids into the classes they needed to be in. Although Thursday and Friday were pretty stressful, I am really enjoying being in 6th grade!
