It's weird. For years I struggled with sleepless nights in August because of my mind being so full with back-to-school ideas as a teacher.
Tonight I sat through the parent night at M's new school-as a parent. It's funny how different the parent side of the classroom is. I know I would be such a better teacher now that I've been on the parent side.
If you have been reading for any length of time, you might find it strange that I bring this up now since M went to preschool last year. The difference is that her former classroom was provided through the school district. There wasn't much interaction or communication. I actually put her on the bus in the morning and didn't need to drive her to school. The only supplies they asked for were occasional snack donations.
This year I feel like we're part of a real school. I'm excited for what is to come. At the moment there are only nine children in her classroom. I love that! Of course that may change, even before Wednesday of next week.
I'm glad you are happy with M's new school. I remember when you were worried about making a decision for this school year. I look forward to hearing more about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the school turned out good. Can't wait to hear more.
ReplyDeleteI hope the year goes great for both of you. The small class size sounds very promising.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, I would be a much better teacher now that I've been a mom for a few years! Good luck, my oldest still has one more year of preschool before 'big' school. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for your next step with M! I bet she will have an amazing year.
ReplyDeleteNINE kids is AWESOME! I hope it doesn't grow more simply because that would be amazing both for her and for you! =D
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
