Dear Bedraggled, tired, teacher,
So you've finally made it to the one week mark- well done! (you really deserve it)
You've spent more time than you ever imagined asking children to tuck under their chairs, cross their legs on the carpet, line up straight, use their manners, and stop talking...please stop talking...please...JUST BE QUIET!
And I've not even started to mention- the new term planning, the new behaviour chart you were asked to make, the several billion WALTs and success criteria you have to stick in every day...and can you please have your subject leader action plan in by next week.
We all know it's not easy, but we still spend six splendid weeks dreaming about the angels we will meet come September. Unfortunately, on the 1st September we forget all the hours we spent getting our previous class into their fabulous (nearly) faultless ways.
So, go home tonight, have a luscious, long bath and pat yourself on the back.
