Whelp... Well I made it through the first week. I maybe underestimated the stress of learning a whole bunch of new systems AND transitioning midyear to a bunch of students who did NOT have a great educational experience in 7th grade math the first semester. It was a LONG week. Especially learning a new learning management system and gradebook. If anyone has some pro-tips about Schoology or PowerSchool for the girl who has only used Skyward and Canvas, I would really really appreciate them. I am so grateful again to the amazing energy and enthusiasm for Mr. Aaron Skiles, my co-teacher. He is new to math and to the profession and he is going to be AMAZING. He rocked week one....and oh yeah, his wife just had a baby who is still in the NICU. Look at him slaying with students. Also grateful for the leadership of Harshman for trusting me. There were some low moments but definitely some high moments as well. There was some Desmos Magic. Some great group work...
