School doesn't start here until next week. But I'm not looking forward to dealing with a new crop of freshmen.
I know when I worked in elementary the principals would say, if you don’t get to all the academics the first two weeks of school, that’s okay. They stressed that kids need to learn and practice, practice, practice the classroom routines and rituals in the classroom as well as behavior expectations throughout the schools. If you don’t spend a good amount of time (elementary) practicing, the rest of the year will be more of a struggle for everyone
I always thought that the permission to allow teachers a chunk of time to spend on this was very cool. First things first really made sense to me. So, as I walked the halls I would see 2 or 3 classrooms in different areas of the school just walking in line lol and 2 more classes outside lining up and standing in a straight line.
I’m always amazed at those teachers who really have command of the students and the classroom, esp elementary- 💖
This group has me questioning just how much better those social skills really are 🤣. Only kidding. They're just kids acting like kids. It's been a long two weeks and I'm not quite back in the teaching groove yet, but it still feels good to be back.
It sure does! I'm tired at the end of every, but it's at least a good kind of tired. Thanks so much ❤️ hope you have a great year too!

Still ponder the social skills part. Definitely had a bunch return with car-like attitudes.
I think that cats have better social skills at this point.
