When I taught fifth grade I loved back to school because I enjoyed getting my room ready and meeting my students for the first time. Fifth graders are so eager to learn, and again I loved starting the year with a clean slate (for them and for me). Now that I'm a mom, I look forward to back to school for the obvious reason - that I get to farm my older child out for six hours a week so I can grocery shop alone, shower without wondering whether he's in the other room hurting himself or breaking my china, and spend some one-on-one time with my five month-old who never gets me all to herself. I also look forward to getting back to having some structure to our weeks and of course to watching my son delight in learning new things.
My oldest will be starting the two year-old program at our church two mornings a week. His teacher sent him this sweet note welcoming him to her classroom. It came in the mail addressed to him, which he of course loved.
And here's my little guy beginning Mother's Morning Out last year.
This blog is such a great idea! I, too, always love the start of a brand new school year. I actually miss organizing my classrooms and decorating bulletin boards. I was feeling a bit lazy the other day when I thought about buying an over-sized calendar to practice with connor. I then remembered I used to have some pretty good teacher skills and opted to make one instead. Haven't done it yet.... BUT, I thought about it:)
ReplyDeleteI see you decided on the MPP Learning Center for Foard?? You'll love it there, it's the cutest preschool ever. I really miss it! Keep up the writing, I delight in knowing that in some cases, I'm not alone!
