First Grade

I finally got an email for the Head of Primary School where I am working for the next year. So I am officially down for teaching first grade! That was what I was hoping for. I am so excited and completely nervous at the same time. I am in charge of these kids education for the next year. What if I do a bad job? I start to think "well, it's just one year, if I screw it up a bit then surely the kids can catch up with their peers the next year." But everything is so important when you are a kid. Every little thing that happens seems to shape you into who you are for the rest of your life. The whole thing is exciting and nerve wracking.
