ELATION!

Teaching is helping young people believe the impossible is possible.

~Todd Whitaker

One word – ELATION! I am so very excited to teach first grade tomorrow that I can barely contain myself! A full day teaching and learning with first graders is such a delicious treat! The first grade teacher for whom I will be “swapping” with for the Teacher Swap-O-Ramma E-mailed me a copy of the lesson plans after school and I have been refining them ever since that time. I just arrived home from a BOE Discipline Committee meeting, and although it is after 9:00 p.m., my mind is still whirling with the possibilities looming on the horizon. During the day today the students were chatting up who their teacher was going to be tomorrow – I can’t decide who is more excited – the teachers or the students. A fifth grade teacher got the lucky draw and will be the “principal” tomorrow. I need to run now so I can put the finishing touches on the lesson plans she will need for the second grade guided reading group plans.

Stay tuned…
