I also have a class of 25 second graders who are anxiously awaiting my arrival. I don't want to let them down and I am planning some fun activities to build our class community. It's like starting the year all over again in January! I have to get to know them and they have to get to know me. It's exciting and it will be exhausting but I am humbled at the opportunity to be there and learn with them as well.
I started this blog not only to record my daily observations as a second grade bilingual public school teacher but also to record the growth in language development of my own children. I've spent a lot of time learning and taking some classes in Early Childhood Development and I really need to record what I observe. I am even thinking of quitting my 16 year career as an inner city teacher. Early Intervention needs more Developmental Therapists and it's something that I am definitely interested in. For now, I'm going to hang in there for another year or two.
