Tomorrow is the first day of my fifth year of teaching high school. I guess if I survive this year, I’ve dodged the "new teacher" bullet. Right now, I’m trying to breathe calm breaths, eager to meet new students and to re-greet the old.
Here goes . . . .

Have a great day!
I just had my 24 first day of school, and I still get butterflies.
I’m sure your first day will be great – you do some awesome lessons with your students.
Ok,yesterday was my 41 first day of class. That certainly makes me feel old. . .but I still love it as much as I did the very first day — I wish you the same.
I always feel the same anticipation. My cousin sent me one of those emails this morning with pictures of cute babies … I think it was a famous quote on there. Part of it said,
“Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough – Give the world the best you have anyway.”
That’s what teachers are about. Happy 1st Day!
Well, as I read this, your first day is over. I am sure it was a wonderful one! There is always such a feeling of hope the first day. Anything and everything is still possible.
Now, if I can just remember that when I have my first day next Tuesday!
