My carefree summer days are over as of tonight!!!! Tomorrow I return to my second grade classroom to prepare it for the first day of school which is Aug. 22!!! This summer just flew, especially since I taught summer school for half of it! So I'm having mixed feelings right now. Half of me is excited to begin a new year and the other half wants a little more time off!! I'm so jealous of those of you who get to go to Disney in Sept. and Oct.!!! Think of me working hard while you are visiting the Mouse! Anyway, I need a little pixie dust to get in the mood to return to school!!!
Thanks!!

Here is a Pixie for your Pocket Disnygirl. When in need, take her out and let her dust away!



Good luck in setting up for your new school year! I do have to admit this summer has really gone fast.

Here's one for the other pocket as well, disnygirl! Here's hoping you have a great year! Think of all the fun you'll have with those cute 7 year olds!

Hi disnygirl-
I'm not a teacher, but a teacher aide and I know how you feel. I had one week off, then our summer school started and doesn't end until this Tuesday. I'll still be at school though because I also check in all the new supplies for the elementary school.

I am taking off from 8/30 until superintendent's day on 9/5 to go to Charlotte for my granddaughter's birthday!

The end of summer is a cause for sadness, but don't you get excited the beginning of each new school year? I always have high hopes for each and every one of those little darlings!

------------------
Take care-
Laura

I'm right there with ya, Disnygirl. We start the 17th and the students first day is the 23rd.

Although I am a little anxious to start the new year and meet my new little 6th graders, I'm not looking forward to being in my classroom. Our school doesn't have AC, and if you have heard anything about the Denver weather this summer, you have seen our daily temps well into the 90's almost every day.

To make things worse, my classroom is in the center of the school with no windows. The ventilation system pulls the air in off the tar roof. So what ever the temp is on the roof, is the temp in my room. Add the hot, stinky air with 45-55 kids per class, by 3:40 it's unbearable.

So, those of you who are going to be in WDW on 9/23, pleaaaase eat a Mouseketeer Bar for me!

Hi Disnygirl,
WOW...you start early!(or maybe we start late??)
Our boys don't start untill around Sept 6th!
We still have our end of summer campout at Hershey Park with the scouts the weekend of the 25th!
It's not Disney, but it will have to do until Oct!
Wish you could be with us in Sept!

Here is a LOT of Pixie Dust to keep your spirits up!

Disnygirl,
I'm sending some pixie dust to you and all the other teachers out there! I hope you all have a great year!! My sister just found out last week that she has a job teaching kindergarten at the school where my nieces go. She starts tomorrow also! She just graduated from college this past May. I have to say, she is both excited and SCARED!! Here's some irony for you...my 6th grade teacher is now my father-in-law. So, keep in mind you never know WHO you are going to be teaching!

Good luck!

Here's lots of Pixie Dust your way to All
the teachers. Just think of the wonderfull
ways you get to make a difference in those
Children's lives. And the Reward it is
when they give you a hug or finally catch
on to what you are teaching. Good Luck
to you. I know it's hard to leave summer
behind.
Those of you that are teachers you are special people.

I knew I could count on you guys to send warm wishes!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my job, I'm just not quite ready for summer to end. What's even better is last year I taught 1st grade with the understanding that I would take them to 2nd grade with me, so I will have most of the same students as last year. It makes the beginning of the year much less stressful!!! Have a Disney Day!!!

Our school district started school on August 8th. My son has already been in school of 4 days. My daughter started kindergarten today. Talk about going back early!!! They do, of course, get out on May 24, so we get an early jump on summer. The teachers were back in school the last week in July .

Hidden Mickey,
I would think that your kids would get out even earlier than May 24. We go back the 21 and get out May 31. But I suppose every state has different requirements.

Disnygirl,
I know how you feel.I teach 3rd and 4th grade. I start back on Sept.5 and I have mixed feelings too. I am excited to start a new year and get back to decorating my room, but at the same time I know that my freedom is almost gone. No more late nights out and two days a week off(my summer job is only Tues,Wed, Thurs). I bet once you are back you will be glad. I'm sure you know that we are in the most noble profession of all and that our kids need us! Good luck and have a great school year!
