Well, here it is... my first official blog post as a 1st year teacher. Snow day tomorrow...YES! (I still feel like a high school kid who gets excited for a snow day...Thanks Metro!) And now, I can recap the amazing 2013 since I do not have to up at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning. I've been hired as a 2nd grade teacher in July, and it has been blissful. I've met amazing co-workers who have helped me get into the grove of things. My family and friends have been so supportive..of course, Milan has been very proud of me as well. :) Many emotions have existed since August... joy, happiness, sadness, frustration, lack of sleep, sickness, accomplished, etc. You name it, I felt it. But honestly, I can say it has been an incredible Fall semester. My students have grown so much, and I have learned so much about myself by working in the classroom. They have inspired me in so many ways that I never imagined before. They have made this journey a worthwhile.
I'm ready to start the Spring semester. I'm ready for my kids to come back to the classroom (I've missed their smiling faces.) My classroom is ALMOST ready for their homecoming.
Oh, and yes, I must remember to be "all of these things" as my kids come back to the classroom Thursday morning.. This was compiled on the first day of school (August 1st, 2013).
I feel very blessed and humbled today.
P.S. Hristos se Rodi najdrazi moji!! <3
