Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Back To Work I Go!!!

Although I have been back at work for almost two weeks the official "first day" hype starts tomorrow. Yes, like the kids I bought my first day of school new outfit, stocked up on school supplies and packed my lunch early. Because I am teaching a new grade I think I am more nervous than the kids this year. I am sure as is always the case I will lie in bed wide awake all night and not get any sleep. This will be fine for tomorrow but by Wednesday I will be so tired I am sure I will sleep through my alarm clock and wake up half an hour before the kids are suppose to be in class... (it has happened before)! :-) Another year, another group of kids, another grade level, another adventure. I am particularly excited about this year as it is my mission to make Jesus the change our school so desperately needs. Each year we have been praying for our staff and principal but nothing seems to change so the only logical answer is more Jesus! I am going to start a bible study on site after work and make sure I do everything I can to glorify God in the workplace so perhaps someone will ask why I am different and I can shout praises to the LORD! Amen! I am hoping to stay more up to date with this whole blogging thing...did a great job the first week and then never wrote again. However, I want to keep a journal of all the funny things kids say and how the day went etc so what better place than on my blog. So get ready for some laughter and perhaps a few tears as I embark upon this great journey they call 1st grade!!!
