After three years out of the classroom, I had forgotten how teaching TAKES OVER YOUR MIND. I'm not there yet--and I don't even really know what my assignment will be. Eighth grade language arts, I think, but it could be another grade. I'm pretty sure it won't be French. And I know it won't be technology because the state doesn't think I know enough about that to be certifed. But I digress.
So I'm constantly thinking about what I can do to make class interesting, how I can engage students, how I will set up a well-managed classroom, how I will create a no-excuses everybody is kind to one another learning environment, what I will do when...
See? I'm six weeks out, and I can't stop thinking about it. It's always in the background, no matter what else I'm doing. Everything is instantly related to my teacher-self, the kids, the classroom, the learning, the technology.
I had so totally forgotten about that. But it's back.
