Well that was nothing short of performing dental surgery with no novacane. #teachersofinstagram #firstdayteaching

A room full of eight year olds is SO challenging. You have to give such detailed directions over and over and over and over again before they finally get it. And my ESL students. It was like I was from another planet, they just stared at me like I was crazy. And my ones with IEP's were terribly distracted... I was just super overwhelmed because they didn't wanna pay attention, so bitch teacher lady had to come out. Ugh. I'm so glad the first day is over with. I am not looking forward to the rest of this week. It's insane. Way way way harder than I ever imagined. But still totally worth it, I hope.
