Meet the teacher

Hello all! Last night was kindergarten orientation and I got to meet my 27 kindergartners, possibly 28 by today. I was so nervous and excited at the same time. There was a moment that I just blurted out, "I'm so nervous!" in front of 100+ people. The words just didn't come out of my mouth and that's all I could think of to say. I forgot how young they are still and I'm not sure I can do this. Can't I just get them after October, after they are taught the rules and routines. It was really nice hearing parents say how cute and kid friendly my room is. After all the hard work, it is nice to have the recognition. Time for professional development!
