It's a little overwhelming, but I just keep plugging away. When I get frustrated, I just readjust my focus to what the kids need most. My job is about THEM, not me. It's always hard to balance all of these beginning of the year things, but as a teacher, I have to take direction from my principal. That's where the rubber meets the road.

I take SIX WEEKS to establish routine! Granted, I'll need to do DRA2 on my kids within that timeframe, but it's just a minor inconvenience (or so I need to tell myself!). I have all their fiction scores from the end of the year, so I have a place to start and make temp. groups.
