Dear Saja,
So you graduated, you might have actually got a job right out of college (such wow, much impressed) and you get to finally start the work you have been preparing for. You’re probably ridden with anxiety having those kids, your kids, walking through your classroom door. What do you do? You’re probably going to try to have that perfect image in your head come to life. That’s probably not gonna happen though.
It’s not always going to work out according to plan. But you can try your hardest. Make sure that they know from day one that your classroom is safe and open to them. Make sure that they know that you’re a valuable resource and you will always be there for them. They will know if you’re being sincere or not.
Things will be tough. They will be scary and exciting all at once. It’s okay, let that happen. It’s easier to say now then later when I’m actually at that point, but you can do it. You’ll probably have some oopses along the way, but take them in stride.
One step at a time. It’ll happen. Believe in yourself. Everything will be okay. And if it’s not, then you can fix it on day two. Just remember to hand out the syllabus.
