As many are mourning the end of summer, I have to secretly admit, I am anxiously waiting for that first day of school. At least a week before the start of every school year, I begin losing sleep, waking up in the middle of the night, and my mind won't shut off. I love the beginning of the school year! It's a time to reorganize the room, plan new and innovative lessons, collaborate with colleagues, and get a new group of students that I call, "my kids!" They aren't just my students, they are "my kids." I get to learn about their summer, their family, their sports, their passions, and so much more. I look forward to this every year. As students enter the building with such excitement, and anticipation, I too am filled with such emotions. As I gear up for the new school, here are my goals and aspirations:
I love this video about Moon Shot thinking, and share it with my students! This list could go on and on, but this school year, we are going to do things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. We are going to shoot for the moon, and reach for the stars, because before I even know them, I know they are out of this world! Welcome back students! Sincerely, Your crazily excited teacher!
