1. Make sure to have a comprehensible plan to start off my new adventure in teaching 6th grade on a good note. There are so many suggestions and informative websites which will help guide and direct me in fulfilling this goal.
2. Start planning my classroom set up. I already know the dimensions of my classroom are 30' x 27.5' and so far 24 students are registered for my class - and with the aid of Google I know there are a variety of websites and programs which can help me figure out a good floor plan that will be beneficial to my students and my classroom.
3. Make sure I have the necessary supplies to ensure my students are able to start off the school year successfully. Because the neighborhood many of my students live in is low SES, many time they do not have the necessary supplies for success, and I would like to have a stock pile so the lack of resources is not an excuse they can use to not participating or completing the expectations set out to make sure they do their best.
I know I have a lot to learn and get ready for to begin my new career and adventure as a 6th grade teacher. Having goals and a plan will help ensure I am on the right path to being the best teacher I can be for my students.
