Yes, that's right! Even after 4 successful years as a teacher, three as a special education teacher, I have butterflies!
"Will I be able to break down barriers with parents and invite them in as a partner?"...
"Will my lesson plans be ok?"
"Am I going to have many students with behavior issues in my class? And will I handle everything ok?"
"Is it my evaluation year?"
"Am I going to get invited and be able to attend the staff development meetings?"
"Wait? I have how many triennial reviews this year?"
"Oh my goodness the race is about to begin!"
"And what if I want to start a family this year will I be able to handle the work load? Will my car hold up another year?"
The list goes on and on and yet I know, that as soon as I see those darling facing lined up outside my door on the first day Ill remember that it's will all be ok because I do make a difference and I do care. From my toes to my nose, I care that my student make it in this wacky world!
