This was the look I had on the first day that I entered “MY” classroom, and it basically says it all.

It’s hard to tell if I’m surprised that this is all happening, if I’m giddy with excitement, or scared out of my wits unsure of what I’ve gotten myself into.

I guess thinking back, it was a bit of everything.  As some teens and young adults would say,I have started “adulting”.  This was a huge step for me.  Not only is this my first full-time career job, I also had to start learning to do things by myself (such as calling utility companies and setting up different accounts).

Teaching at Lynn Grove is so different from anything I’ve ever experienced.  I currently teach 9 different classes in total, which is more than double what I’ve ever taught at once.  I had to learn everything quickly and it took me a long time to catch up to all my work.  I had to learn the curriculum, find out where the students had left off at, as well as learning the school policies and operating procedures.  In my posts while I am teaching at Lynn Grove, I will be talking about British school life, classroom experiences and comparisons to previous teaching experiences in Canada.
