Just got back a few minutes ago from the middle school Back to School night. I feel like I just had a whirlwind of parents come through in a matter of an hour. Being able to talk and laugh with the parents really makes nights like this better. Since I'm an encore and an ensemble our presentations are a little more informal than the core teachers. It's nice that the parents could come up to us this year and tell us some concerns, questions, or even just to tell a little story. Being able to catch up with some of the parents that have been there since I started three years ago and see how their kids have changed and how they have had an impact on my life has really just made this rainy day great.
Top 5 for the day:
1. Laughter and good conversations with parents and fellow teachers
2. Having a fun Kindergarten class and 7th grade class
3. Spending time relaxing with a friend after school
4. Running through the pouring rain with student laughter following
5. Receiving jewelry first thing to start my day off on a happy note :)
Yup, agreed! I was pleasantly surprised at some of the conversations I got to have tonight with parents. I feel like I got a little more insight into some of the kids that I normally may have not gotten. Have a great weekend! :-)
