El primer dia... ready or not!!!
WOW!!! No one tells you how incredibly much you have to do to prepare for the first day of school. I couldn't believe that it took me two hours to write names on various cutouts, laminate, and cut them. I am exhausted (mentally & physically), yet excited for what's to come. The first day of school for kindergarteners is such a big deal, and I feel like I am sharing some of the same feelings that they might have... nervousness, scared, excited, curious. Overall, I think it will be important to get to know them, teach them what we expect of them, and make sure that they feel safe in my classroom and at school. Here I go, diving head first into the unknown of a first year teacher teaching kindergarten in her second language!!

You are already a hero in my book. Love the photos of your classroom. I think you asked me about lighting and I posted the article on my blog. Stop by for the link. Can't wait to hear how the first day went.
ReplyDeletePS - Laminating and cutting things out really suck :) Good for you for hanging in there.
