I love the beginning of school!  New books, new school supplies, new classes, new teacher...(gulp!) NEW TEACHER!!!!

It takes time to get to know a new teacher and for a new teacher to get to know you.  It's normal to feel nervous and to miss that "comfortable" feeling you had with your 4th grade teacher.  That comfortable feeling comes only from spending a lot of time together.  It would be cool if your new teacher could magically know all she needs to know about you!

Which brings us to our first blog topic:  What do you wish your new teacher already knew about you?

I usually give this assignment every year.  Kids have written everything from "I wish Mrs. Ewing knew I am very shy" to "I wish Mrs. Ewing knew that I don't know my multiplication facts very well" or even "I wish Mrs. Ewing knew that I love horses".  You can write one sentence or 50 sentences! 

Be sure to check my blog also.  I'll be writing about "What I Wish My New Class Already Knew About Me".
