First day of school jitters…

July 31, 2012 by Tamara

Well, after working on all of my stuff for the first day in my new grade and classroom, I believe I’ve worked up some pretty good first day jitters! :/  Thankfully, my mom has agreed to come down from New Jersey for my pre-planning week to help me set up for my new theme–Pirates & Polka-dots–and to just generally remind me that ‘I’ve got this!’
Sure do love my mom! ๐Ÿ™‚
So,  I’ve been working on what I’ll be doing…and right now…I’m feeling pretty good about week one.  Lots of habits & procedures.  I’ll be introducing the pirate theme while I do that.  I couldn’t believe how much stuff was out on the internet for pirates! ๐Ÿ™‚  I’ll post details of the ideas I’ll be using soon! ๐Ÿ™‚
