Sunday Salon: The Night Before the First Day of School

Technically school doesn't start tomorrow.  Students come on Thursday, but tomorrow is the first teacher work day.  I'm at a new building this year.  After twelve years as an elementary teacher librarian I am moving to middle school.  

Aside from summer ending, our other milestone in our house this week is Big Sister turning 16.  



She has her driver's license now which is exciting and scary all at the same time.

It's always amazing to look back on how quickly summer has gone by.  I'm excited to start something new, but understanding how the new sixth grade students must feel as new students in an unfamiliar building, not knowing anyone or where they are going.  

The girls get to stay home and relax for three more days, but the 2017-2018 school year is officially beginning for me on Monday.

I can't believe your daughter is a driver now. I hope you settle into your new building okay. Middle school! How exciting.

My daughter made the volleyball team so we are now dealing with three hours of practice every day and two games a week. This on top of high school competition theatre, community theatre and concert choir. So far, we had two conflicts and were able to work them out. I hope that is it for this semester anyway.

So are you still a librarian? Or a media specialist as they are sometimes called in the upper grades?
