This week I got my first full time job as a teacher. I had a million thoughts running through my head as I was given this job. This was my dream to be a teacher, but what was it going to be like? My imagination was running wild.

1. How should I decorate my classroom?

I was looking around nervously at all of the other teachers classrooms. I kept noticing how good theirs looked. All I wanted was for my classroom to look good. The theme that I wanted my classroom kept changing in my mind, should it be a Circus, Curious George or Finding Dory. Finally I picked to have it themed as Finding Dory. The kids love it!

2. What are my kids going to be like?

You have to admit it. If you are a teacher you do talk about your children. The other teachers tell you all of the bad behavior patterns of one kid that you are getting and you start to get nervous about it. You have to remember that it always ends up being okay.

3. How do I do lesson plans?

One of the hardest parts of being a teacher is doing the lesson plans. Am I doing this right? Do the kids know this? Is this too easy? Is this too hard? You have a million thoughts running through your head. You have no clue if you are doing the lesson plans right.

4. What if they don't like me?

You always have that thought what if the kids don't like me? What if the parents don't like me? The kids always end up liking you, but you have that constant fear that they will not.

5. What do I do now?

My kids aren't listening to me. I need to gain control of twenty kids within the next two minutes. Heeeeeelllppp.
