Are you Prepared?

As teachers, we try to be prepared for anything that comes our way.  We organize and plan, but sometimes the unexpected happens.

It is very difficult for me to "go with the flow".  My rigid, type A personality prevents me from easily switching gears.  Unexpected things like multiple phone calls to my classroom, an unexpected assembly, or an untimely fire drill have a tendency to cause anxiety.

My teacher friends have been so gracious about the difficulty I have with changing plans.  However, since I know this is a struggle, I have to have some coping mechanisms so that I don't become overwhelmed.  This is where I need your help.  Do you have any tips or tricks that work so that you don't become anxious when you aren't able to get through your lessons for the day?

One thing that makes me happy is a neatly organized classroom. When my environment is in order, my head seems to be more in order.  Enter my raffle (below) for a chance to win my Library Organization Mega-Pack (retail: $10.00 when bundled).  Here's what's included:
