Day 1

On my way back from work today, the radio congratulated all teachers who had just made it through their first day. I couldn't help but grin. I'd been warned about this first day. "You won't sleep a wink the night before," they told me. "Don't be discouraged if everything goes wrong." "This is as hard as it gets." Strangely enough, they were wrong. Today was fun. My classroom, waiting for its students. From my desk. My beautiful library (Notice the Spanish copies and accompanying characters of Curious George and Charlotte's Web.)
