The things I love about the first day of school:
- freshly sharpened pencils and other school supplies
- clean never used notebooks
- kids wearing their cutest new school clothes
- I get to wear my cute new school clothes
- desks aligned just so (not necessarily in rows, but still all in order)
- cute bulletin boards
- high expectations for a great year
- ideas for new curriculum, behavior management, and/or activites and lesson plans
- it's easier to stick to a healthy eating plan because I pack only good-for-me foods and don't give candy/food rewards to my students
- my classroom library is still organized
- seeing the kids smiling faces
- all the parents still think you are a fantastic teacher
