Well, teachers reported back today for my district. It's always an exciting feeling but sad that summer is over and it's time to get back into the groove. This will be an exciting year for me as a teacher because I'm fully implementing Whole Brain Teaching. I've been working all summer reading, writing and preparing for the upcoming school year. I have to admit, I am nervous. I want to make sure I implement WBT effectively. I'm blessed to have an amazing mentor, Farrah Shipley, to encourage and guide me. I hope to one day mentor other teachers in WBT! So, I'm excited about this new teaching adventure officially starting next Monday!
Next Monday will not only be exciting but a tearful day as my 4 year old, Landon, will start PreK. It's amazing to me how fast kids grow. It was just yesterday I was holding him in the hospital with his older brother, Ethan, looking down at him with excitement. It will be a tearful day as I walk my baby into PreK with his Batman backpack proudly worn. He's ready but I'm still trying to hold on to my baby! I'll then head upstairs to walk my 3rd grade son, Ethan, into his class. He'll probably tell me to go he's got this. He feels pretty cool to be upstairs with the big kids now.
Anyway for me it's been an emotional roller coaster with school starting again. The excitement of new students. The tears of my babies growing up. The excitement of starting WBT. The tears of waking up so early again! But most of all the excitement of teaching which is my passion. Building new relationships with students and families that hopefully last a lifetime.
