1. I won't have time to be bored (which results in eating for the fun of it)
2. I will get to see my students from last year
3. I will see some really good friends every day
4. My classroom is going to be super cute
5. I feel like i really know what I am doing this year (finally!!!)
6. I will be more active
7. I will get to spend time with regular ed. students when I coach
8. Getting to know the new staff members
9. Learning more about my students
10. Watching my students succeed and grow
11. Learning what to do in order for my students to be successful...and implement it through their daily work
12. Trying to be the best teacher for my students
13. I will have some great stories to tell (my students provide some great entertainment and laughs)

i hope you have a truly wonderful year... what you are doing is so important, as you mold the minds of the young ones... and in the meantime, gain some hilarious experiences - a given with kids!

Came over through your sis. I'll be teaching again too soon. It's such a good feeling, the fresh start, the new faces, the anticipation. Good luck.

Hi Emily...Krystyn told us to visit your new post. I am glad I did. I love hearing about good teachers like you. I retired after 24 years of teacher...2 years of preschool and 22 years in high school.
I wish you all kinds of good luck. I hope it will be a great year for you. With your optimistic attitude I'm sure it will be.
