I have been anxious to find out my placement for this semester... for Mrs. Dossier class, that is. Well, I found out today! SCIENCE? OK, I guess. SIXTH GRADE? Hmmmm, ok, I can do that, right?! YIKES!
Yes, I did request my placement to be in the upper grades, because I have quite a bit of experience already in the lower grades, so I wanted to try something different, like the older students... but 6th grade!?! My daughter is a 6th grader, so I know exactly what I'm getting.... ATTITUDE (& I think she's one of the quieter, nicer ones!) I can deal with one emotional, smart-ellic, and "not-a-child-but-not-quite-an-adult" youngster, but a whole classroom full!? Don't get me wrong, I am so excited about being in the classroom, but it's a bit scary to be the new kid on the block in front of a bunch of 6th graders. It seems like younger children just accept you as you are, but older kids can smell fear!! LOL! O'h, I'll get over the fear and anxiety soon, but for now I just needed to vent a bit before I start this exciting journey. To be continued....
