Will my new kitten eventually stop hissing at dog?

I just adopted a approx 8 week old male barn kitten and I have a 5 year old female terrier... Im slowly trying to get them adjusted and have had the kitten for 3 days. i hate to leave it cooped up in a room by itself but whenever i get my dog and kitten close, the kitten hisses. my dog really tends to pay no attention to the kitten but once or twice has aggressively barked and lunged towards the kitten(with me holding her collar). Im being very careful to make sure no contact is made but i just want to make sure this is fairly normal. i have found kittens in the past (not as young) and i don't remember those kittens hissing as much.. I know it will take time but im scared they will never get along.. am i being to hasty and impatient?.. any suggestions? thanks so much!
