I am not in a new school but was asked to teach a new grade leave, serve as grade level chair, and the best part...no one on my team has taught the grade level before!!! Best of all anytime I ask for help, I'm told to ask someone else. Until I realized, no one really knows what to do. I want to be positive and happy, but it's hard. So it's nice to know that other people are feeling the same. With time, I'm sure we will all get used to it and feel more positive about our situation.Ms. Polkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301078032338996758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002619688172268543.post-1653936424417673442013-09-14T21:00:14.405-07:002013-09-14T21:00:14.405-07:00I also moved schools this year.....and it was my c...I also moved schools this year.....and it was my choice,,,,but I am totally rethinking that decision. I know I have to give it time, but you hit the nail on the head with this post.....it is just different...and not that much fun, yet.<br /><br />To complicate things, my new school got a new principal the week before school started (a brand new principal)...I ask him questions, and he says...I am still learning, too.

I don't have a copy lady and I have to order my own copy paper. What planet is this school on? Meetings every planning period but Monday and Friday. Can I get time in my room to prepare to teach? Who are you, you want me to do what? Where is that? Totally feel your pain. I am just hoping it gets better as they year goes. Bad thing is only one person is a returning teacher on my team. 5 of us are newbees to the school and district.little oneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888674844402223218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002619688172268543.post-61290303928308814442013-09-14T08:31:24.089-07:002013-09-14T08:31:24.089-07:00Karen,

She listened and then told me whenever you switch grade levels or switch schools, you become a first year teacher again. BUT a first year teacher with a wealth of experience and a wealth of knowledge. But it is so hard. Sigh. However, next year we won't be first year teachers anymore! :)<br />Hang in there!<br />CamilleCamillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944280556679586400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002619688172268543.post-41667154929913757292013-09-14T07:45:12.114-07:002013-09-14T07:45:12.114-07:00I totally understand about your thoughts on the fi...I totally understand about your thoughts on the first of the year.
