The Beginning of the School Year


The beginning of school
Is the best time of year.
It is filled with excitement
And anxiety and fear.

The first week of school is usually filled
With meetings and boring paperwork galore,
And greeting friends and colleagues we missed
As they gladly walk in the door.

It’s fun to plan on arranging the classroom
And moving the desks and the tables.
It’s even fun to hook up the computers
With the gazillion miles of cables.

Deciding how to decorate the classroom
With a room full of color and lots of great posters,
I can’t wait for the room to be filled
With a whole bunch of jokesters.

It is time for getting the new textbooks
And choosing what I should teach.
What is just right for my students
And what is out of reach?

Together we learn about new school policies
And relearn all the old school rules.
We are ready for the new school year
Armed with all the tools.

Each teacher and student
will each play their part.
And hope this new school year
Will bring a fresh new start!

That resonates so well with me even though I haven’t taught in years.
