Blog Hop Jitters, Winners, and Giveaways!!


I am linking up with Ashley over at Fierce in Fourth to talk about my first day jitters. I really hope you can link up too and share three things you are jittery about for this upcoming school year.   

1. The number one jitter nightmare about the first day of school is getting told I' have to move to a different grade level.  I have been teaching Kindergarten for 7 years and our student numbers are never predictable.  I have numerous nightmares over the summer that I am going to get a call and they need me to teach 5th grade.  Ahhhh!!!!!!!  I would cry the entire year if that ever happened to me.  We have already lost two team members over the summer because of low enrollment.  
2. This year my school is adopting a new grading system.  I am a little nervous about this.  I do not know a lot of information about it but I do know it is different and new and we have to implement it this school year.  Sometimes the unknown can be scary. 
3. And of course I am nervous about my little ones.  Of course we all want the most angelic class, but we all know that never happens.  I am just praying that I dont have any students who run, scream, kick, and throw chairs.  Yes, this has happened to me three times already during the first week of school.  
Thanks for  reading all about my first day jitters.  This was so much fun to share. 


On a more positive note...I won the blog make over!
