So far, if there's anything notable about this new school year, it's that it hardly feels new at all. Summer break seemed awfully short, and when we returned, it was almost as if we had never left. My classroom came together quickly, and I resumed the old routines like slipping on a familiar pair of jeans.
Even the new kids don't seem all that new. They've been back in school full-time and in person since 4th grade, and anecdotally, of course, (it has only been one day!) their grasp of appropriate school behavior and habits seems solid. The day passed quickly and smoothly, and I'm looking forward to a similar situation tomorrow.
Fingers crossed!
