FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 2011-2012

Tonight is the 4th FDOS eve I have experienced as a teacher.

There are numerous challenges coming head on to my life at school this year. 
1) I am team leader
2) I have a new teacher on the 7th grade English Dept.
3) The other one of my 7th grade English teachers has yet to step on campus this CALENDAR year.
4) The STAAR test is coming to replace the TAKS test...neither of which are any good.
5) I have a student fighting cancer.
6) I have a student who is mute.

But there are a MULTITUDE of blessing in my life as well.
1) I have a job that I enjoy
2) I have a new teacher that is proficient in English and classroom management
3) I have a curriculum to follow so I am held accountable to my students, parents, and fellow teachers
4) I have a love for teaching
5) I have a fabulous team backing me as I embark on being team lead this year
6) I have a great Inclusion Specialists to help me teach and reach my students 
7) I have a student who is FIGHTING cancer!  
8) I have a student who is mute--maybe he will sign....
9) I HAVE A JOB!
10) I have the favor of my God going before me into ANY situation I may walk into, stumble into, or get thrown into.  

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I pray:
Heavenly Father, 
May I have all the love and wisdom I need to be successful in my kiddos' lives. Let your light shine through me. Help me be able to motivate, encourage and build each child up this year.
 
Thanks,
Mrs. ABC, M.Ed  :)  Still loving that I am a MASTER!!!
