Fresh Start! By TeachtoScrap

Trust me I am sooooo ready for summer, but after this year I am ready to make a fresh start.

I started this year back after being on maternity leave (10th year to teach) and wanted to QUIT the very first day.

My class was awful, new principal, and about 7 new programs that the district wanted started YESTERDAY. I couldn't keep up. The baby wasn't sleeping through the night and every MON I cried when I had to get up. Once the baby started sleeping through the night (um 5 months later) and I kind of had a handle on the new programs, I started to feel better about my job. However,

I am looking forward to next year. I felt like I was playing catch up ALL first semester!

So no! You are not only! However, I think I won't touch a THING for at least a month once the summer starts!
