1st day of Kindergarten!!!

Well..things definitely didn't slow down today. What a crazy day!! I don't know where it went! Wowzers! To add to it all, we even had a fire drill! What a thing to throw at kindergartners on the first day of school, especially when they don't understand their Spanish-speaking teacher half the time! No really...I couldn't have asked for a better day. There was only 1 cryer and nobody peed their pants!

I still can't believe it that I didn't even get nervous. Not only did I not have time to worry, but their big hugs and cute faces made everything so much better! I seriously have such a great group of kids and they are darn cute!! They behaved much better than I had ever expected for their first day of school. Such bright kids!!

I know that each day brings new challenges and new successes, but I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that we continue to go up hill during this journey. God is so amazing! I have been praying that he confirm to me that this is where he wants me to be. He has made it seem like the obvious path for me with how this whole teaching position at Minnetonka came about. However, teaching is definitely an art and not all are cut out for it. I was worried that would be me. God proved me wrong! When I'm with kids and teaching I am totally in my element. It just feels right! God spoke to me through others today when fellow teachers came up to me to comment on the good report I have with the kids. They see what he sees! Thank you God!

My dad would be so happy to hear me say "I can't wait to go to work tomorrow!"

Tomorrow is a new day with a new start, but it could have a very different ending. I pray for patience, flexibility and love. Those are the key ingredients!!

Much love,
Lacy
