I'm not absolutely certain that any teacher feels like everything is perfect for their first day of school. I do think that most teachers feel like they are ready for the first day. I woke up this morning ready to go to work. My classroom was set up, I had the knowledge and information that I needed, and my lesson plans and schedule were in place.
Everything went well. I love, love, love my students. My schedule worked out perfectly. The children enjoyed the activities and I got a great response to my light table and iPad games and books. Was it perfect? Oh, no. But it went well. I am getting to know my students and I know that absolutely, unequivocally I am blessed. I wish I could show the pictures I took of my students, but I can't. If you saw them, you'd agree that they are precious.
Jesse and Lily had a great first day, as well. They love their teachers, and I am so pleased to have been able to see them throughout the day. I got to see them during both lunch and recess for a short time. They come to my class at the end of the day and have snacks and play. This whole situation has turned out better than I could've hoped for.
Jacob and Matthew had a good first day, as well. However, Mom doesn't take "first day" pictures when you're in 9th and 12th grades. ;) It seems crazy to me that Jacob is in his last year of high school! Have two high schoolers blows my mind...
Though my feet hurt and I am very tired, I am happy. I asked one of the deacons at church for a blessing for today, and I definitely feel blessed. Now, to go back tomorrow and have another good day...
Many blessings,
Jennifer
