It's almost time for my second year of teaching at an elementary school and I'm really looking forward to it! Well, I'm not looking forward to waking up at 5:30 a.m. as opposed to whenever-I-felt-like-it-o-clock. I am excited to see a lot of my students again and hearing all the hilarious things they have to say (and then writing about them on here). I anticipate this school year is going to be more hectic because I'm starting a program to earn my principal certification; it's basically like it's another Master's Degree. I'll be taking two classes this fall. They said that the first semester is the hardest, so I'm a bit nervous about that.
We had our back to school night the other night and lots of the kids came in with their parents to meet their new teachers. I didn't get to see many of my little ones because I was in the intermediate hall most of the night. I did have one interesting quote from a 5th grade boy.
He walked past me, held up some sort of action figure thing and said...
Boy: I brought a dragon head.
Me: Umm, of course you did.
The first two days before school are full of meetings and such for us teachers. I was at school all day today doing a variety of things. At one point, I noticed that my principal was staring at me during the morning meeting and I thought, "Oh no...my purple streaks in my hair are more noticeable and I'm going to have to get rid of them!" I saw her later in the office and it turns out that she likes them and that's why she was staring. So that was a nice, fun surprise!
I also have to add that I get the biggest kick out of my principal. She's really nice and has a very positive attitude. Today she said the funniest thing, at least I thought it was. We were in the middle of a meeting and we heard this big roll of thunder...
Principal: Was that thunder?
Several teachers: Yea.
Principal: We are living in...Brazil. Or wherever it rains a lot.
Me: Hahaha! That's the best thing I've heard all day.
