is great but busy!! And I mean BUSY! It seems like we had not had a break since June to be honest! I need a vacation and this is only the 1st week of school! So today was my first day with students! Unfortunately, I wasn’t really with them today as I was pulling them aside and testing them. This week, the kids are staggering in. Today I had 8 kids, tomorrow I will have 6 , and then Friday I’ll have 6 students. Monday, I’ll have all 20. This past Monday and Tuesday I did home visits to all of my students. Let me just say how humbled I was to enter into some of these homes. It truly makes you appreciate the things that you take for granted. Some, really broke my heart. I think making home visits were a fantastic idea although I was most definitely out of my comfort zone, I think it will make me a better teacher for my students to know where they come from.
My room is 95% ready. Without the amazing help from my assistant, I would be at square one still. She has been a blessing! I really think I am going to love my new school and I already love my new students!! Even though I am nervous about the grade level that I am teaching, I know that as long as I am having fun and loving what I’m doing, then those kids and I will be just A-okay! I pray that I can be patient, understanding, challenging, and nurturing to my new group of preschoolers!
