Oh! I totally forgot. Last night when I was at my brother's Eagle award thing, I was talking to a teacher friend of mine. And when I say "teacher friend," I mean, she was actually my third grade teacher, but has since become a great family friend who we love and adore. Anyways, we were discussing teaching and she told me three keys to being a good teacher.
1) Make friends with the custodial staff and secretaries. They will help you get things done.
2) Get every flu shot and immunization available. Otherwise you'll end up sick as a dog.
3) Make very few rules, but make sure that they're important and enforce them.
It was a great conversation and it got me pumped up to teach. It will sure be a learning experience for the students and for me. Have I mentioned that yet?

Courage, Elisa!! You can do this!! It WILL be hard, but you'll be very satisfied with your results. You are a REMARKABLE woman, and will be a magnificent teacher. I love you, and am looking forward to seeing what amazing things you will do with your life.
So now, of course, we have to know how the first day went, and if it was ANYTHING like you expected (good or bad)?!?!?!
