I loved Amanda's post about Anticipating Back to School Night. We both participated in Back to School Night on Wednesday night and I completely agree with her... even after living through seven of these nights, my nerves still get the best of me.
I truly look forward to meeting the parents of each and every one of my students. The meet and greet is my favorite part. I love noticing the same "isms" that that both parent and child share... shrugging of the shoulders, the excitement in their voice, the way they talk or laugh...these are just a few things that I notice right away. The warm smiles and handshakes go a long way and create the, "we're in this together" vibe.
The "we made it- I survived" feeling is the best feeling to have as we leave the building at night. The hardest part is coming home at 9pm, getting rid of the adrenaline rush, and feeling tired enough to go to bed.
