Well here it is! My first day outfit is laid out. My lunch is packed. And I am ready to tackle 50 sweet kindergarteners! Okay, we'll maybe not sweet, but a teacher can dream! I had a great week getting the classroom ready and I always love meet the teachers nights! I was able to meet my kids and families. It is always a little blurry at meet the teacher, but from what I saw, it is going to be a challenging year. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling I'm not. I just keep praying and telling myself, those kids were placed with me for a reason and even if it has nothing to do with teaching, they need me. I had 2 challenging students last year and it was only prayer that got me through. I get one of those kids back again for a second time. I came home more than once last hear in tears. Not just because if his home life, but because I felt so helpless. He wrote me a note at the end of last year and all those bad and rough memories went away forever! I try to look past their "behavior issues" and just love on them. Most of the time that is all they need. So needless to say, please keep me in your prayers, specifically that I will know what these kids need.
On a diffident note, I could not be more excited for the first day. I am slightly going crazy that we start on a Monday this year. It's going to be a LONG week! Mitch took me to get a couples massage on Saturday morningand it could not have come on a better day! I was so worn out from getting the room ready and was up at the school late every night. I was refreshed and I felt like I could conquer the world when I left ha!
I know I have abandon the blog lately, but when I got in school mode I lost track of time and how long it had been since I actually got on the computer. I am going to really try to blog about my my first week but I can't make any promises!
I hope y'all have a great week!!
