Well the new school year starts next week and many children will be starting school for the 1st time. I am starting kindergarten teaching for the 1 st time in many years and I am sooo nervous!! I am excited and scared at the same time (probably like half my class LOL)
So if your child is starting school know that chances, are their teacher is scared and wants her mum too!!!
mrsmac - that is such a gorgeous (and honest) admission!
good luck with your first day - i'm sure your nerves will disappear as soon as you get your first student walk through the door!
Ohhh i think if i were a teacher, i would pick kindergarten kids to teach - they are too cute.
My first baby starts kindergarten on thursday....she is soooo excited, and so ready. Im finding it really hard to get my head around the fact she wont be at home for 6 hrs a day 5 days a week.....im going to be a mess on thursday...
Good luck to you though!!!
Good luck to your DD mbear, I am sure she will love school. Our school has a "tea and tissues" for the new mums in the hall after the kids start.
ohhhh I'm scared too!!!! Matilda starts part-time kindy on Thursday and its scary. I guess feeling like this is the beginning of their education... (not that she hasn't learned anything up until now ;)) but the beginning of "formal" education.
:hug: mrsmac you will do an amazing job because you feel for the kids!!
God love ya Christine. BUT you just got through 12 months with a 16 year old. A bunch of 5 year old will be fun :D
Goodluck mrsmac, I'm sure it will all come flooding back to you! And they can be sooo much fun. I work with little ones (0-5's) and some days you just have the best fun ever!!
You will be amazing on kindy and will love it! If you need anything let me know. Hope the Best Start foes well for you! I am dreading doing it next week!
If you are enything like me, I would come home and fall asleep on the lounge at 4pm! Exhausting the first few weeks (actually if I am honest the first term)!!!
Oh and remember go on whole class toilet trips! I found it was just easier than having kids in pairs going out of the room at different times and worrying about where they were or if they had run away! :)
Forgot about toilet trips thnks Ali!! I am OK with best start, we are testing all at appts during the week then they all start Wednesday of week 2.
I may call on your for some programming ideas!
I guess it's just a different perspective - give me the 16 year olds any day, the thought of the 5 year olds is enough to reduce me to a quivering wreck!:
I'm sure you'll be fine, Chris. :hug: I have to admit to being slightly jealous at the thought of me not going back to work this year...

Im sure you will do fine.
DS starts 3yo kinder, its only 4 hours a week andIm still getting funny about it!
Mrsmac I am sure you will do a wonderful job. I bet it will all come flooding back once you start :)
I hope so, it was 2000 when I had Kindy 3 days a week for 2 terms and the last time i had them full time was.... gulp...... 1990!!
