I am new to fourth this year. I taught first for five years. I think I've adjusted pretty well, and seem to have somewhat of a handle on all my subjects,(I'm self contained), expect for writing. I feel as if I am doing a horrible job!!!!
I feel that we just don't have enough time. I took a 6 Traits training over the summer, but I still feel like I'm lacking. I teach at a small catholic school, so we don't have the stress of the state test hanging over our heads. However, I want to do better. We have started the second quarter and we're still working on narratives. I feel as if I'm drowning! Any and all help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
