Another day

Today we did not learn more things that overwhelmed me, since I know how to make lessons already, and we planned a lesson for something I had already started doing, namely giving options. When I have things in hand I feel more confident, and when I have a game and am told that I can "use that" I get more nervous. Since I don't have the picture of previous experience to go on, I feel like I have to have a picture of what everything will look like before I do it, or else I feel completely paralyzed and unsafe. I understand that that's what a curriculum is for, so that you don't get lost along the way, but mine isn't the most helpful in that regard. I hope I can get my classroom together enough, and figure out which way is up, before school starts.
