They are coming!!!
And they can smell your fear!!
The first day of school for teachers is filled with just as much anxiety as it is for the students.
So much work goes into one little day. I've printed my syllabus and schedule, a survey for the first day, and a little writing assignment. It's been a while since I've taught block so I'm probably over-planning. Better to over than under, am I right?
I plan on having a little bit of conversation too. I want to get to know them. It's so important to learn names as soon as possible and putting little facts with personalities, faces, and names really helps me.
Tonight Maggie asked me if the kids at her new school will think she is smelly and weird. I assured her that no one would think that. I hope the same for myself. #settingthebarlow
