Ask any teacher, and the second most anticipated night after the first day of school, is the night you meet the parents! It's only one hour in my school, and I've experienced 7 Back to School nights in my career, but tomorrow night is my 8th, and I still get a little nervous!
It's a lot of fun trying to guess which set of parents belong to which students. I have had a chance to get to know the kids for a few weeks now. We've learned a lot about one another. Each class is so different year to year. Each has strengths and weaknesses that make each class kind of like having children: you love each class for different reasons! There aren't any classes who take the cake for being my favorite (well...besides my first class ever, but they were my favorite before I even knew them!).
I always have high expectations of myself and my students. I hope that the parents will support me as I educate their children. It's the only way this year will be successful!
