First Impressions!

There were several things I learned over the course of the summer during NTI class. Considering I have never taught before and I was going into my first year of teaching, there were a lot of things I didn’t know. I knew that I needed help in every aspect of teaching. One thing I remembered learning was “First impression is the last impression” and that is what students will remember. I said to myself, “Crystal, you will make the first impression our best impression.” Well the summer went by and the first day of school grew closer and closer. I grew more nervous I thought I was going to forget all of the good information I received over the summer. Well, here it is, the first day of school, and I made the BEST impression ever. I let the students know that I was excited to be there and I wasn’t there for a check, but to help them succeed in their educational career. We are now going into the 4^th week of school and the students all say the dame thing to me, “Ms. Kimble, I wish I had your class for all my periods.” I can’t get rid of them. That is a good feeling to know that my students enjoy being in my class. I guess I made a good impression on them.
