Any teachers nervous about their first day?

Question

I know I am! This is my second year teaching and school starts tomorrow!

Answer 1

Not me - I dont really get nervous anymore - nothing wrong with it tho.

I think at some point as a teacher you are so used to the process, you arent worried about how it will go - you simply want to get started with it.

Answer 2

Its ok to be nervous.

Students may be even more nervous than you.

Start the first day with light lessons if you do any lessons at all.

It's probably best to do welcome activities to break the ice first day.

Answer 3

I was really nervous last year but not so much this year.  I find that the first day totally sucks and I'm really happy when its over.  It just seems rather chaotic and you cant get anything done.  This year I'm doing a craft/art project first thing to put up on our bulletin board because its a nice way to start the day.  Good luck tomorrow, I go back next week! :)

Answer 4

Good Luck!!!  Remember all of things that you want to change from last year, and start making those changes tomorrow.  Your 2nd year is soooo much easier than your 1st!!!  Best Wishes!
