First Day Jitter Fixers

The first day has come and gone. As usual, I am completely exhausted and drained! Although this task is always a daunting one, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly day one passed this year. I spent a lot of time with classroom routines but as suggested in this blog, I decided to change my routine this year.  I spent a lot of time getting to know my students! What do you spend more time on? Routines or getting to know your students?
