Well, I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Perhaps. We had our 2 days of workshops yesterday and today, and tomorrow is our first day with our students. I mentioned in an earlier post how I received several responses from parents and students on my letters that I sent them. I also got to meet two of them today. I feel better about tomorrow. Although I just taught 3rd graders this past year, for some reason I was imagining my 4th graders as larger students. I'm not sure why....On Sunday night I definitely didn't feel ready mentally for school. The idea seemed surreal. Yesterday, before our district workshop in another building, I went to my classroom to drop off some items. When I left, I felt more motivated and energized for school to start. This morning, after a couple of meetings, I was able to work in my room. I got pretty much everything I can imagine prepared. Now I'm sitting on my couch waiting for laundry, patiently waiting for a decent time to get to bed, and I feel that I'm ready.
However, as ready as I feel right now, I certainly was dealing with the nerves this morning and afternoon. Yeah, let's just say that I'm really looking forward to Thursday, because the first day of school jitters will be over.
