Today was the first day for one of my schools and First Night for the other. I've been at work for eight days now and today when the kids walked in I remembered why I do this job. Seeing the smiling faces, mostly on parents(!) and the students all spruced up and on their best behavior is really cute and motivating to do right by them.
First night is when the families come to drop off their wheel barrel load of supplies and meet their teacher. Tonight the Kindergarten parents had their orientation as well. Times have changed. Instead of buying the perfect nap mat and buying milk tickets, our kindies are signing iPad Usage Contracts! I kid you not, these beginning students are signing (printing) their names! Did I know how to write my name before kindergarten started? It will be very exciting to teach these 21st Century learners!
