My good luck token is to spend the night before hand with my family and reminding myself to have patience, open heart and mind with my future students and my own children since the school year demands so much of my time. We usually bbq and watch our favorite movies. I tried to sleep, but I am very nervous and usually wake up early and make it to school early.
Our staff always takes time to pray together before the school year starts. We ask God to bless our school, students, parents, and staff throughout the new school year.
I always get plenty of rest the night before school starts, wear a new outfit and get to school VERY early!!! For the first week of school, I greet every student at the door and tell them how glad I am they are in my class. It really sets the tone for the year and my first graders love it!
My good luck token is to wear a new outfit and big ole smile to greet my students in the gym!
A say a little prayer.
I bought a new “blingy” t-shirt for this year. It says, “1st Grade Rocks” So, I purchase a medium sized rock for each student and wrote “1st Grade Rocks” on each one. Students and parents loved these! It was fun!
I’m so excited and nervous I can’t sleep so I get to school early.
Prep, prep, prep. and lists lists lists. And when I think everything is done I sit and look around run a few scenarios around in my head to see if I need to change anything. Also, I try to meet with my parents and kids beforehand (especially the ones that have some special circumstances) Talk with the Intermediate Unit about the kids that I am going to have that they have and we will be working with together to make sure what we do in the classroom is settings kids up to succeed.
I always arrive early so that I can pray over my classroom and sometimes a group of co-workers gather in one classroom and we pray for every student, teacher, and staff member and pray for a successful and safe school year. I always make sure to eat a great breakfast and a great night’s sleep.
My lucky charms for a great year are: A freshly painted and decorated classroom. A well rested teacher and a blessing from our Good Lord for a happy successful Pre-k year.
We start off with a breakfast burritos. I will wear my favorite shirt. My son will wear his new clothes. We will take pictures of our first day!! So exciting!!!
Good Luck token is the hugs I receive from previous students when they run up to greet me on the first day.
