I've just finished my first week of the 2013-2014 school year with my new students! There have been some tears (by the children, of course), giggles, frustrations, and outright laughs. The tears have been slowly fading to non-existent. The giggles became more and more frequent between the children as the week went on and friendships began to form. The frustrations are being handled more easily. And the outright laughs have occurred longer and louder each time. I think it is safe to say we are becoming quite a little family in my classroom!
Either I have grown as a teacher past the first day jitters, or I am just blessed to have such great kids for another year. This week has overall been relatively stress free. Routines have been learned quickly, and rules are being enforced by the children. I will be getting a few more new children next week, and I am sure they will fit right in with us.
I can't wait to see what this year holds!
