I should be sleeping...but school's starting soon and I'm so excited that I'm having a hard time falling asleep! To me, the first day of school is like waking up on Christmas morning...you never know what you're going to get! I can just imagine how awesome my students and classes are going to be. I have so many new ideas that I want to try this year and so many new adventures are in my plans for the year.
I can remember having this same, euphoric feeling every year on the first day of school for my entire life. Ok, so I dont exactly remember the first day of kindergarten (it's been a few years), but I do remember the beginning of some of the later years of elementary school through the end of high school and from the beginning of every semester of college through all 10 years of teaching. I hope when my students arrive with this feeling on the first day, I make them feel comfortable and excited about school. Wouldn't it be great to have a classroom so amazing that we all would wake up with this feeling every day?
