Since this is my very first teaching job, I
cannot tell you how many dreams and daydreams I have had about the first time I
meet my students. NOTHING like I imagined....it was BETTER. I am a tad
dramatic, but I never imagined having so many different feelings on the day of
open house. When I was setting everything up, I had this feeling of pure joy
and butterflies. I love everything about being a teacher. I know it will be
hard, but I want to remember these moments when I doubt myself and remember the
kids' faces when they walked into my room today. I could have cried when the
sweetest 10-year old boy said this room is AWESOME! Even if it was
just one student, it was the validation that I needed to know that the room was
for them. Their smiles when they walked in the door was priceless.

I loved watching them figuring out their locker
combinations with their parents. There were even races going on to see who
could open it up the fastest! I tried something I had been seeing all over
Pinterest. I loved the idea of a "teacher wish list", but did not
know how it would go over with the parents. I was so surprised when I saw that
I only had 2 left! Such giving parents!
I hope that all of this excitement continues
throughout the year. I have a feeling it will be a great one! :)
OFFICIALLY,
Miss Newell
