School Night

Well... Tonight is the first school night of a new year.... I am ready as I know how to be.....These are a few of my emotions as I think about tomorrow....

I am excited... about meeting the new kids and about learning how to teach a new grade.... It is not a huge jump, but 2nd graders can do so much more than what I am used to with 1st graders...

I am nervous... about effectively meeting all of the needs that will come into my class... Teaching is a HUGE responsibility... I want to take every opportunity to help that I can...

I am tired... It has been a long few weeks getting ready for this day.... Non teachers will NEVER understand what we go through... Maybe next year I will invite some of you to hang out and see all that goes on to get the room ready.

I am honored... like I said, Teaching is a HUGE responsibility... It is a privilege to get to do it!

I am thankful... to have a job, to be back in a classroom, to work at a great school, to have GREAT coworkers, to have a great principal and assistant principal, to have great secretaries, to have great cafeteria ladies, to have great custodians, to have great EVERYTHING!!!!

Now for the last emotion....

I am anxious.......... 179 Days to go!!!!!!! :0)

Happy First Day of School!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Instead of 179, you need to start counting down to the Fridays. It comes more often and something to look forward to quicker. I think I would just sit around and dread the next 179. Glad you teachers are a different bird.

You're too funny(only 179 days to go)! It's going to go great for you! Do you have any of the kids that you taught in 1st grade?
