Okay...it is not the night before the first day of school until tomorrow, but that doesn't mean I am not already laying my first day of school clothes out to prepare. I mean...even after 4 years of teaching kindergarten...I still find myself anxiety/excitement filled!
The night before school starts is exactly the same for me as it was when I was the kindergarten student myself.....
1. I can't fall asleep until way past my bed time.....I stare at my alarm clock and swear that it is taunting me....
2. I freak out and worry about the first day.....
What if I oversleep?
What if i forget my lunch?
What if I send a kid on the wrong bus?
What if I spill coffee on all my lesson plans? (Do not laugh...this has happened to me many a time!)
3. I pack a super delicious and healthy lunch, which I can never eat because there isn't enough time. Someone has an accident, a parent calls/emails to check on their child, someone is crying through lunch missing mom and dad, etc...
I end up eating a kindergarten-style snack - *think goldfish* - in haste, before the kids come back from recess.
4. I obsess over my first day of school outfit. I love to lay it out the night before....just like what I was in school....
To alleviate some first day of school worries.....
Here are some cute, teacher-friendly ideas for all of you teachers out there. They are inspired by other great bloggers....
Happy Back to School!
