School days!

Aug 13, 2013 19:10

So, today begins my 3rd school year with the public school system here. I am so ecstatic to welcome back all my little kiddos into the classroom! It's the first year I've felt very prepared, most likely because I got to keep my office! (Last summer, I had to move from a giant classroom to a smallish office.)
I love my dungeon. It has no windows, and is starting to feel cozy. I started a collection of school uniforms for disadvantaged children, and the donations keep pouring in to me! Other schools have started requesting uniforms from us!
We have an amazing new faculty, and a fantastic set of support staff. I'm really excited.
We met today as a faculty, for the first time, and I really can't express my relief at having an administration that understands my students.
Our school district has been through so many changes in the past few months. They were needed, and give a fresh outlook on different topics.
I've had to restrain myself from purchasing more pencils than fit in a backpack, reams of lined paper, and shiny clean notebooks! I LOVE this time of year.
Parents are relieved to see the start of school. I'm relieved to see the close of summer vacation. I was going stir crazy! I am someone who doesn't do well without a schedule to adhere to, it appears. I spent a ton of time at school all summer though.
The marathon began today, and in 9 months, I'll be ready for summer again. :)
