I was equally parts nervous and confident this morning. I knew how I wanted things to go, I just wasn't sure I how I was going to get that to happen. Once I was in the classroom though, things just happened.
The girls listened so well, they interacted with each other and with me without any trouble. Lunch didn't make me sing any Carrie Underwood, how great is that?!
I'm hoping for the same kind of day with my boys tomorrow. Last year, it was the boys that had me crying on the first day of school and having mild heart attacks. But as I have reminded myself, frequently in the past week, this year is not last year. It's pretty great that I get to start over again and approach everything in a different way with a whole new group of kids!
I know that even though I had a rough year last year, my kiddos still learned, and they knew that they were loved. Yes I am in this profession to teach children the ABC's, how to count to 100 and read sight words; but, I am also in this profession to make sure kids know they are important and are loved!
Today's pockets:
Binder clip: yay
