THE KIDS ARE COMIN'!!

Today was "Meet the Teacher" Day at our school. As a teacher, I'm excited to get started to a new year-excited to see what all their 7th grade minds will soak up in one year. Of course, after hearing all the "NCLB" (No Child Left Behind) "stuff" that we are faced with, it is a bit nerve-racking. But we put on a happy face, chose our attitude, and did what we had to do. The kids are comin'! The kids are comin'! We will feel like Paul Revere on some days, I'm sure. Right now, everything is fresh and new. Everyone's smiling, laughing, and happy to be at school. It's an exciting place to be. I know... by SEPT. 1, we'll be ready for a break!! I'm just glad we had a few weeks off and get a new start-the kids too! It was great to see some of the faces that popped in just to say,"Hi". I have to admit, that's always a good feelin'!! Well, I better get some rest, 'cause like it or not, "The kids are comin'! The kids are comin'!"
