You know it’s Back to School When…

August 19, 2012 By fancyfreein4th

Back to School! How has Summer been sooo short?
Today, I am linking up with Jeannie at Kindergarten Lifestyle for this Back to School Linky Party sharing our version of “You know it’s Back to School when…” thoughts.
Here are mine:
I have LOVED staying up late and taking turns sleeping in. The idea of not having to set my alarm clock has been pure bliss. I have enjoyed taking it easy and not being soooo scheduled this summer… and now the time has come to an end. I will have a regular and repeating alarm clock, I will have to make sure I get to bed at a reasonable hour.  I will have to adjust to the responsibilities that I have vacationed from. 
I have been working on my new classroom so diligently. I cannot wait until it is done and I am all settled in.  Having to start from scratch on bulletin boards has left me with numerous paper cuts and other battle scars (soar back, tired eyes etc.)  Being a teacher can really ruin your hands! I have paper cuts from paper you should never get a cut from… example) manila folders and laminate! 

I have enjoyed the ease of washing clothes this summer because I have had so little to wash. PJ’s and loungewear here, a bathing suit there and flip flops 24/7… Now with school starting, I will be back to new outfits, sorting clothes, high heels and cardigans…

What things do you think of regarding going to Back to School? Tell us all by joining Jeannie’s linky party! Click the blank chalkboard below to share yours. Can’t wait to read everyone’s ideas about back to school time!

There’s so much advice I would tell first year- There’s so much advice I would tell first year- teacher-me…. Especially after the last (almost) 2 years of teaching; barely afloat. This year is so hard. I have to stop regularly and tell my student teacher, “it’s never been like this”. But to my core, it’s always been- children first, relationships first, or nothing else matters. Though this year is tough in new ways, there’s still much hope and laughter each day. Thanks @eveleon26 for reminding me of my first, wonderful year of teaching- so I can bring that energy, excitement each day- no matter the circumstance. For all of my teacher friends out there, I see you- I know it’s hard- and I’m grateful for you. (P.S-it’s almost winter break, you got this!) #tiredteacher #cleareyesfullheartscantlose
