First graders and all that implies

Today was the first day back with my first graders. I am so blessed to get to work with some amazing teachers. They invest so much time with me and let me be a part of their classroom and participate. Being with a new class this semester is good because I get a different perspective from a different teacher but I am having to learn 21 new names, which anyone who knows me knows that I am terrible with names, so how do I deal with this you may ask... Well I call them all friend until I learn their name. So right now I have about 5 names down so that means 16 "friends" so all in all successful first day! I am super exhausted because I forgot about all of the energy they had have balled up inside. They are so cute though and I wouldn't trade this job for anything in the world and I love that I made this decision in my education. I feel complete when I am in the school and just know that I can make a difference there. So here's to another semester at school and hope for great outcomes :)
