Back to School

A new school year has begun! Just like the dawning of a new season, the start of the school year brings about a feeling of anticipation and nervousness. However, this year I have all my same students back, the same room, and the same room set-up. For me and my students, it's been the best start to a school year ever. I have a new 5th grade teaching partner and things have been a little challenging getting to know her and her work style. It's going to be a year of patience....as for my 4th grade teaching partner, Scott, this is the start of our 7th year together. It feels like a very comfortable hat to work with him--we just know each other's styles so well. For that, I'm very grateful. A new principal is bringing about a whole new definition to the term 'unorganized'! Oh boy, I do think it's going to be a looooooonnnnngggg school year. How many days until the first break?
