First Day of School 1/180

Today was the first day of school.

I didn't welcome little people to my class.

I didn't read my favorite books.

I didn't comfort a weeping child.

I didn't dance and sing.

I didn't learn every child's name (always a goal).

I didn't say, "See, I told you she'd be back." at pick up gate.

I did set up a teaching space in my classroom.

I did set out my materials with confidence that they wouldn't be scattered, torn, licked, or eaten.

I did find out that my MacBook will be able to capture more than a blue wall at home.

I did get some hellos and photos from my new class that made me smile.

I didn't get to pass out treats or custom made First Day of School cookies today.

But...

I will get to pass out treats, materials, and bubble wands tomorrow.

I hope to sneak in a First Day of School picture and a smile behind a mask tomorrow.

Three years ago I wore a plum dress with pockets on the first day of school.

Last year I wore the same plum dress with pockets on the first day of school. 

Guess what I wore today?
