Here goes...

Thanks for all your nice comments about my room and your well wishes. They are much appreciated.
Tomorrow's the big day. My first full day of class. Monday and today were orientation, so the parents brought the kids to my room for about 45 minutes while they had a meeting with the director. It was nice to put faces to the names. They're all sooo cute! Only 1 each day cried at all. I think they will do well. None of them seemed too incredibly irritating, at least not yet! I think we're going to have fun. I just want to get through a few days and get in a groove where I know how things are going to go. I've decided to just act like I know what I'm doing until I actually do. The kids won't know the difference.
All the other teachers there have been really nice. I have the teachers in the classroom next door that have been helping me and I'm sure I'll be sticking my head in their door at least a few times in the next few days to get a tip here or there.
I have to go now so I can email the kid's parents before tomorrow! I can't believe it's finally here!!!
