You know you are a first year teacher when...

Your students keep asking you when we are going to stop doing the same things as the class across the hall. I don't know about you guys but I have the best mentor teacher ever. She pretty much just gives me what she does and then I use it in my classroom. The problem is that the kids talk to each other and my students now think that I come up with nothing on my own. Oh well. I am okay with it!
