At last the weekend is here. I must confess, I really thought this week was going to be horrible. But guess what, it turned out to be really good. It wasn't nice to know that I had to start working on Tuesday, especially since we have to be at the school at 6:30 every morning - it's just to help the kids get accustomed to their new teachers. Every teacher receives her own kids in her own class, once they are settled we shall all gather in one classroom. Once we get to this point it will just get easier, the teachers come in early once a week and receive all the kids (of course with the help of some assistants).
I must just confess that I really was stressed on Monday evening, just thinking of all the new kiddies in my class. Will the accept me as their teacher? Will they throw a tantrum in front of their parents and I'll have to do something about it? Nothing of the kind happened! It was the easiest starting week I have ever had. The kids were calm, they accepted me immediately and said goodbye to mom and dad like pros.
I know these are still early days, and yes some of them have already tried to push my buttons. But at the start of this weekend I really feel that we're getting somewhere. I am really looking forward to working with and teaching this class. We even had our first birthday of the year today. We had lucky packets and of course - Spider-man cupcakes.
As I said in an earlier post this is going to be my year. I just know that the kids and I are going to get along splendidly. We'll have our battles, their will be screaming, crying and tantrums (maybe the kids will have these too), but overall I shall try my best.
I'm so motivated to really get started this year. We are going to do and make great and interesting things. I'll keep you posted on everything we do, I'll even tell you if I no longer have energy to keep going.
