It's a very ancient saying,
But a true and honest thought,
That if you become a teacher,
By your pupils you'll be taught.
How is it possible that I never realized that this song was about a teacher getting to know his/her students?
This is how I envision my first day of school in September - a spectacular musical number with adorable children singing and dancing in an easy, friendly manner.
And while you watch ask yourself, "can these kids be any cuter?"
And I will get to experience this for the first time this year! A new experience for me! I was told in my interview that I will learn more from the students than they will ever learn from me. Since I will be outnumbered 300 to 1, this must be true! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteAnita,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear all about it. Best of luck and remember to enjoy yourself. xo
ah - the first day of school! It's my favorite day and this Wednesday is IT. I agree that your students teach you as much as you teach them if only you take the time to listen and develop a willingness to learn!
ReplyDeleteHave a great school year!
Pauline - Best of luck this Wednesday and have a fantastic school year. I dropped in to school yesterday to see our new playground and am really getting excited to begin. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, adorable children! I just realized The King and I was set in Siam, which is currently Thailand. They still have a king, whom they greatly revere. The queen's birthday was while we were visiting and was a cause for great celebration.
ReplyDeleteGood luck back at school. I'm sure your children will quickly realize how lucky they are!
