New Teacher Training

For the past three days I have been entrenched in "new" teacher training.  My brain is full and unorganized.  My stomach is in knots. And my butt hurts from sitting all day:)  Despite how my body is feeling, I am READY to dig in to the curriculum and figure the WHAT and HOW of teaching my firsties.

Here is what I am thinking and feeling about the information presented the past three days in no particular order...

• I heart the Common Core (http://www.corestandards.org/)!
• I am anxious to see how I make it all work in first grade.
• I want to be apart of writing curriculum.
• I need to get to work on Flipcharts.
• How am I going to effectively monitor report card requirements with standards based grading?
• I NEED to get questions answered about my schedule.

I am relieved that Superior's philosphies, practices, and people mesh with my teaching style and personality. 

Mrs. Benner + School District of Superior = a good fit
