It's the day of new L.L. Bean backpacks for my boys, five 1" binders with dividers for my new middle schooler, and pocket folders with brads for my third grader. It's a day of wondering if they are having a good day. It's a day of my telling my new fourth grade class that I know they are going to be the very best fourth grade class at C************* Elementary, because "Everyone knows Mrs. W. ALWAYS has the best class!" It's a day of signing forms and papers sent home with my own children (homework for parents!). It's a day for a trip to Marble Slab for the special ice cream treat to celebrate this yearly milestone. It's a day where I am so utterly exhausted that I snuggle under my duvet at 8:00 so that I can rest up for tomorrow.
It's the First Day of School...
I hope today was the best first day ever for you and the boys! I know those 4th graders are super thrilled to have you as a teacher this yer. If truth be told, I get just as excited/nervous as my students for the very first day of school ... I'm not far behind you.

I am sure you all had a super day! I love the first day of school, and not only because I have the chance for a little 'me' time again but because it is such a happy time for my little ones. They love school just as much as I did at that age and I remember being so happy to get back to the swing of things come September. (I never grew out of being a lover of routine and schedules!)
ReplyDeleteAnd I am positive your class knows how lucky they are to have you for the whole year!
Hooray! I hope it was a fabulous day. Welcome back; I've missed your posts!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good day. Summer flies by!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a good day! Oh how I wish you were my girls' 4th grade teacher. That would be the best. xoxo
ReplyDeletebest of luck, boys! make it a great year!!
ReplyDeletehope you have a wonderful day teaching and meeting your class, too!
and if you're having ice cream at the cold stone creamery, i highly suggest Countrytime's pink lemonade sorbet! ;-)
HAPPY 1st DAY!
Best of luck to you and your boys on the first day of school! My daughter starts kindergarten tomorrow - so exciting!
ReplyDeleteHope it went well! My boys start back next Wednesday. I am ready and also not ready...does that make sense? I do not want summer to end. :( Brendan will be in the 4th grade this year! Hard to believe!
ReplyDeleteBless you, Beverly, for being one of the "good" teachers out there that all of us want our children to have! I hope you had a wonderful first day and that your class is perfect!
ReplyDeleteMy first day is a week from today, but the kids don't come until Sept 1st. Where the heck did our summer go Bevy? Hope your first day was great and I know all about how those kids suck the energy right out of you. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo glad it was a good day--we start in two weeks!
ReplyDeleteI bet you are a GREAt teacher! Hope you feel rested:)
ReplyDeleteThe first day is always my favorite!!
