Whew!
I just got home after a wonderful evening at the school. I really enjoyed meeting my new first graders and their families! I have to admit I was very nervous about Open House, but everyone was just so nice. I can really tell that I have a great bunch of kiddos!
Tomorrow is my last work day before school starts on August 25. I still have quite a few things to do and I am starting to feel a wee bit of pressure. As a first year teacher, it has been a very time consuming and demanding process to develop a brand new set of classroom routines, delve into the prescribed curriculum, and set up an empty classroom in just a couple of weeks. Nothing beats the satisfaction of having a child say that they really like your classroom, or having a parent give you positive feedback on your discipline system. I am proud of my classroom and all of the work I have done over the past few weeks. However, that being said, I owe a great deal of gratitude to my first grade team who has offered so much advice and instruction to me. They have been amazingly supportive! Thanks gals :)
Well, I am excited to get back into the classroom tomorrow to get things squared away for Day 1. Wish me luck!
