Yesterday was the first day I had with this year's new kiddos! And I must say...I have two very good classes! Sure, they are full of energy, and they will definitely keep me on my toes - but I think I might just learn something from them, too! I have one class with about half (or more) kids from last year, my afternoon class only has two or three returning children. We don't even have too many kids who are having trouble separating...I guess they feel pretty comfortable in my classroom! :-)
I received my first apple today. What a perfect little gift from a student for the first week of school! I couldn't help but feel warmth inside when I stepped on the bus to get the children to start our day and from the back I hear a litte voice "Ms. Kristal, I brought you an apple!" After a chuckle and a thank you, she presented me with a shiny red apple. I promptly displayed it on my desk to enjoy for the day.
We're still getting aquainted. And the children are still learning rules and routines, and becoming more comfortable. But I have a good feeling about this year... :-)
Hope this year keeps on being a good one!! So nice to hear there are students (and parents) who still know the time-honored tradition of giving your teacher an apple! :)
