24 new names and faces in desks.
less shoe tying and reminders to use a tissue.
a surprisingly less amount of nose-picking.
a noon dismissal for tomorrow...with an afternoon of meetings.
a tentative teaching schedule.
a lesson plan to start teaching grammar tomorrow.
a call saying a student was hiding somewhere outside -- and they weren't sure where.
temper tantrums and tough love.
conquering high shelves and a lack of height.
5 walks to the copy room and back. without getting lost.
a new organization system.
patience, patience, patience.
not nearly enough coffee.
not nearly enough sleep.
pausing to breathe.
learning.
These two days have been the biggest and truest glance into next year already.
And so humbling. Not that I thought that I was a master before, but I have a lot more to learn than I thought.
~"Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life." [-Henry L. Doherty]~
