Last time my muscles ached this much was during my gym phase. I have spent last three days crafting away, laminating, moving furnitures and putting up displays. I’ve even recruited my parents to come and help me because it was actually that intense!
A kind colleague next door acting as my mentor literally saved my life. I only had bare minimal idea of what I needed to prepare at the beginning of the year. She came in on the same day as me and modelled what was expected and even shared her resources with me. I am extremely lucky to be surrounded by a friendly and supportive team.
While my classroom is no where near finished, I would like to share what I’ve achieved so far. Hope this is useful for first year grads starting up just like me. Good luck!
P.S. Ask a lot of questions! The more you ask, you save time and effort: Teachers have no time to lose. I consider myself quite independent yet today I asked someone to show me how to construct a magazine holder. I’m glad I asked as I have 21 of them to make.
