Hi and welcome to the new teachers forum. New teachers are welcome to jump into all the discussions on any forum, but we're hoping that this specific forum will be a place where new teachers, or "soon to be" new teachers, will feel comfortable to exchange ideas and ask questions. As new teachers, you will be faced with many challenges and you may find your first year a bit more stressful than you might have anticipated. But don't be discouraged! As with any new job, there's always a period of adjustment and fine tuning. So feel free to ask any questions you may have, and be sure to check out the rest of the website, especially the freebies page where you'll find lots of free forms and reproducibles from our book written specifically for first year teachers.
