It’s my first day of school. Well- my first day of TEACHING school. I have 18 first graders in my care all day today and for the rest of the school year.
I’m a nervous wreck.
Sure, I’ve worked for 10 years with kiddos. I’ve run after school programs with 100+ kids under my watch, taught VBS single-handedly, and even worked with scary high schoolers. But nothing has me more worried than today. I’e been having nightmares for DAYS about this. At night, I go to “sleep” and just have nightmares about teaching. The kids not listening, me not knowing what’s going on, everything.
So today I need your prayers while I’m at work. I’ve got an awesome team behind me and lots of experience but I’m just stressed.

You will be fine!!! Don’t worry (I know, hard to just not worry)!! The first year is always the hardest and it is smooth sailing after that. Just hang in there. You are going to be amazing. Those kids are going to love you!

Praying for you today!! I know EXACTLY how you feel – my first day of school is two weeks from today and I’m a WRECK. The nightmares have already started! Just remember, nothing is permanent in the classroom. If you implement and policy and hate it, change it! Nothing’s set in stone 🙂
Good luck! I can’t wait to hear all about it!

First days at any new job are ALWAYS scary. But it sounds like you have TONS of experience behind you so I am sure that things will all go wonderfully! And just remember, things don’t have to be perfect. So many of my friends start teaching today and I have been telling them all the same things! Have fun and I’m sure it will all be great!!
