Reading along with interest.
Go, k!
What lucky kids.
Joe(fourth grade was the first time I felt like I was learning something.)Nation
How exciting!
Teaching's about to become part of your muscle memory.
Yayyyyyyyyy Teach!
They're going to love you, and you're going to love them. It's going to be great!
Here's an apple for the new teacher.
Is Tuesday the first day of school, or Wednesday?
Joe(I grew up in Connecticut, but have forgotten.)Nation
You forgot Connecticut? You can't miss it, it's right under Massachusetts.
Knock 'em dead, teach.
Littlek--
Will you be wearing something new? Kids aren't the only ones who find a brand new wardrobe comforting and prophetic.
Hold your dominion.
Pah! Something new? Noddy, I can't afford something new. But, now I'm even worrieder.
My, dadpad, that's a nice big apple you have there!
First day is Wednesday, though tomorrow is some sort of teach day.
This is exciting-- I'm sure you'll do wonderfully, K!
Mr C will be doing student teaching in not too long, so I'm interested to hear what it's like for you...
You'll be fine, k. No doubt in my mind.
Littlek--
Run down to the Dollar Store and buy a pair of socks.
If you can't afford new socks (from the Dollar Store) polish your shoes.
Prosperity (or perhaps solvency) is just around the corner.
Noddy - I did buy new socks, underwear and bras. But, the students won't know that! Oh wait! The students' new clothes make them feel comforted! I getcha now.
Cypher, what is he going to be teaching? I'm glad to hear another man is entering the ranks.
New socks, panties and bras count. You're a bit like a virginal bride, you know, with something old and something new.
Best wishes, littlek. I hope you have a great first day.
Good luck, littlek. I know you'll be great. Can't wait to hear stories from the classroom.
Virginal Brhahahahaha! Heehee. Hoo. Noddy, you crack me up.
So, teacher day went well. I keep being surprised about how strongly I feel for some of the teachers I met last year. I saw some 'old' friends from the first school I worked at and some 'new' friends from later last year.
I have already learned good organizational techniques from Ms. D. Mostly, they fall along the lines of BE PREPARED.
Littlek--
First day is the hardest--cherries can be symbolic, you know.
Quote:So, teacher day went well.
Cool! So tomorrow is when the kids arrive?
