So, today was a crazy day. My TA was sick again today, so another sub was brought in. She is a wonderful lady, and I have seen her around the school before. She always has a smile on her face. Working with her was a bit difficult though. She flat out refused to do some of the simple tasks that I asked her to do, which made the day a bit difficult. My kids were wired today to, and just...off. Maybe it's a full moon. Things that have never happened before were happening today and it really threw me off. Upon reflection, maybe part of it has to do with my programming for the day. I think that when my vice principle returns, I am going to ask her for some advice. Maybe I have the day too structured for them, or maybe I have structured it wrong...I am feeling lost.
Sometimes I am happy that I was just given the class to teach...and with that the freedom to express myself as a teacher however I felt comfortable. But sometimes I wish that I had more guidance and boundries to work within because when days like this happen, it would be nice to have some feedback or support. But I am feeling quite alone. I want to be the best teacher that I can be. And I want to learn lots this year. But, how can I learn if I haven't anyone around to watch and provide feedback for me? Teaching is my passion, and I want to teach for many years to come. I want to be able to get a job easily because my references and evaluations are shining...so to do these things, I need to continue learning...here.
I want help but where do I get it?

Pray. Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Love Dad
