Reflecting on my first year

I want to use this blog to talk about my first year of teaching. I had a rather interesting year last school year and I have been told my numerous co-workers and friends that I should write about my first year because it was one of the craziest first years they ever heard about. So for the first posts that I do it will be about my first year of teaching and the many things I learned that I wish someone had told me during my education program. I hope the advice I give is helpful to first year teachers who are having difficulties adjusting to teaching.
