Teacher Talk Tuesday

Since I only have two years under my belt, I feel like I have so much to learn still and is in no condition to give advice to new teachers since I am new myself.  But I am going to give it a shot. I think my only advice to new teachers is to not be afraid to follow your heart and make mistakes!  We all make mistakes and learn from them, just like our students.  No one is perfect.  During my first year I will get so nervous during evaluation time that I have an anxiety attack and want to vomit because I was so scared and want everything to be perfect (but we all know that is impossible).  So now I have learned to just be myself and pretend that the principal is not there :)
