Advice for Newbies!

Today over at Blog Hoppin',

we are all giving some advice to 

new teachers.

I think one of the HARDEST

things to do as a teacher is find

balance between school and home.

Because, let's face it, a teacher's

to do list is never done!

Before I had my daughter, I could

stay late most days if I wanted

or needed too, but then that all

changed when she was born!

There are still days when I need

to stay past 3:30, 

{like every day the first week of school!}

but I try to not let it become too frequent

because school is not the only thing going 

on in my life!

I figure since the things I want to get done

or accomplish in my classroom will

never get completely finished, I need to 

accept that and be OK with it!

I will never get every Pinterest DIY project for

my classroom done, so why beat

myself up about it?!?

Overall, finding balance has been pretty easy

for me. But, I know some struggle with it 

more than others.

So, if you are a new teacher, don't worry

about making everything perfect!

It's important to do a good job but

don't feel guilty if you leave school

to go enjoy a beautiful afternoon!
