The Last Sleep

It's the last night before the first day of classes. I know that a lot of my students are probably pretty excited right now, but are probably feeling a little nervous, too. They're probably wondering things like which of their friends will be in their class, and what will it be like to have Mr. H. as a teacher. Well... guess what?! Mr. H. is also pretty excited tonight... but a little nervous, too! It's always exciting to get ready for a new school year when you're a teacher - you get to buy new school supplies for the class, set up the room, plan lessons, and so on. However, as a teacher, there are things I get nervous about at this time of year - I wonder if my students will like being in my class, I wonder how long it'll take me to remember everybody's name (I have 24 names to remember this year - that's a lot!), and I wonder if I'll be able to help everyone to become the best Grade 3 student they can possibly be. When I start to think about all of those things at once, it can be a little stressful!

However, what I have to remember, when I start worrying about these things, is how much I love to teach! I think I have one of the greatest jobs in the world - I get to be an Elementary school teacher! Every day, I come to work, and help boys and girls to learn, to have fun, and to get along with each other - what could be better?! It's a lot of hard work, but it's totally worth it! But, do you know what else happens in my classroom? Every year, my students help me to learn, to have fun, and to get along with others. When I remember that, all of a sudden, a lot of those worries go away!

I hope you all get a great night's sleep tonight - tomorrow is the start of another new year... and it will go quickly, like it always does! See you outside the doors, tomorrow morning!
