Getting in the Groove

So I've been teaching now for a little over five weeks, and I'm just now starting to feel like I'm getting into the groove.  I'm more at ease every day, and I feel more relaxed and confident about what I'm doing.  I'm still struggling a bit with behavior management, but I think a lot of that has to do with my contingency planning.  For example, today I planned a lesson in computer lab, and when the students were done, they were suppose to go to our district's math curriculum website and engage themselves.  The website was down and I couldn't believe it, so troubleshooting that ate up a bit of my time and the students acted up a bit.  Next time, I'll have an alternate option available.  That reminds me of something cool that happened today.
