Surviving My First Year of Teaching: A Wild Ride!
Can you believe it? I’ve just made it through my very first year as a teacher! From the chaos of lesson planning to the unexpected joys of student breakthroughs, every day felt like a new adventure in the heart of Chicago. 🌪️ At first, I was overwhelmed—so many faces, so many names, and so many late-night grading sessions. But slowly, the classroom became my second home, and my students, my daily inspiration.
Looking back, I realize how much I’ve grown, but I know there’s still so much to learn. Maybe you’ve spotted something I missed or have tips to share—don’t hold back! Drop your wisdom (or witty remarks) in the comments. Let’s turn my rookie mistakes into a goldmine of advice for all new educators. Together, we can make the next year even better! 🚀
