It's that time again!
School is starting in less than two weeks. I am so excited to meet my new students. I know I have some who are so excited about school, but there are others who are dreading it.
If I could have a pre-school year conversation with my students, I would tell them how excited I was to meet them. I would tell them that this might be their best year yet. I might even admit that I was probably as nervous (or more so) as they are about the first day. For sure, I would tell them that I promise to do my absolute best to make this year the most interesting, fun, and challenging year they ever had. I would tell my soon-to-be students that I promise to love them. I may not always call on them in class when they have been raising their hand for what seems like an hour, or understand when they get frustrated with another student who may or may not have taken their favorite eraser. But I will love them.
So, the 2011-2012 school year is rapidly approaching. You know what I say to that?
Let's do this!
