Labor Day
Labor Day means the start of school is here. I am excited to begin a new year. This will be my 15th year teaching and I smile when I think about meeting a whole new set of excited 6th graders. Many people like to think of January 1st as a time for a new year. For me, the start of school and the leaves falling gently from trees is a sign of a new year.
This morning, I went to Staples and bought bulletin board paper, borders, tissues and folders to give to my my students on their first day of school. Staples just opened, but I could hear the excitement of the kids and parents in the store. When I stepped outside of Staples, a gush of autumn took me by surprise.
So even if you aren’t part of a “back to school” team, give yourself a fresh start this autumn and have a great year!
Hugs,
marlene
