I didn't have the normal first day jitters going to school today. It may have been attributed to the fact that I knew I have a small class or possibly that I felt prepared. It may have been that I knew that they anticipated the change from Kindergarten to Grade 5 for me and so some of the pressure was off a bit. Probably it was a combination of all 3.
The day (my longest teaching/duty day of the week) actually went rather well. It literally flew by and at 3:30, I ws wondering how it had happened to get so late, so quickly.
The curriculum is new for me and there are a lot of changes in scheduling etc being made right now. However, the kids I have this year seem eager and competent. I don't want to jinx myself, but I think it might be a good year. Of course, it's far too early in the year to actually be able to tell if it will be or not.
As I always say though, if you can survive day 1, you can survive day 180!
Here's to hoping that the 178 days in between are as excellent as today was.
