After subbing...and subbing...and stalking...and subbing...I finally received my first official teaching job! I am the newest member of the Lakeland Jr. High School teaching staff. I will be teaching 8th grade and yes, most of the kids will still be taller than me. :)
After hearing the news I ran right over to the teacher supply store and went crazy! Junior high is great because you can still be a little bit silly and cutesy with your classroom decor. My brother and sister made fun of me for getting motivational posters, but it wouldn't be a classroom without some motivational posters. Classroom decorating is the easy part, it's the lesson planning, the syllabus creating, and the open house night prepping that terrify me!
