Things to remember:
Get to work early, don’t stay too late.
Teach kindness first, subjects second.
Stay on top of the papers before the stack gets too high.
Drink lots of water {you always forget}.
Read all the chapter books {and picture books, too}.
Work hard, have fun.
Show love.
Be you.

Today I started my new teaching job. This year, I’ll be working in a brand new district, in a brand new grade {2nd!} and I am THE MOST excited {and anxious, too}. I had my new teacher orientation today and I kind of feel like I won the lottery. The value and respect for education in this community is extraordinary and I feel incredibly lucky to get to be a part of it. I’m proud of myself for getting here and honored and humbled to be able to be doing what I {with all my heart} LOVE TO DO.
Turning the page to a new and exciting chapter… the kids come next Tuesday and I can’t wait.
