Snooping Around at School
pamelamyers | September 13, 2018
It’s back to school night when we get to see Sam’s classroom and meet her teacher. It is always a fun night because we get to snoop around her room and see where she will spend her day. This year will be extra fun for me, at least, because I am the lead homeroom parent! I never thought about being a homeroom parent before last year, when I sort of volunteered late in the game. I didn’t get picked, and I was disappointed, so this year I was determined to volunteer early in hope that I get picked. We are all told that it is a lottery, but honestly, I don’t believe it. I think the first people who volunteer get picked. Well, no matter what the process is, I got picked! Sam is SO EXCITED. By being homeroom mom, I get to be at (and plan) all of her class parties and go on her field trips.
When we got there, we found Sam’s desk and this picture. Miss McCray, her teacher, had taken one of all the kids.
We walked around the room to find some of the things they had been working on already and I was surprised to find this. She really warms my heart although I wish she had drawn some hair on top of my head!
We liked reading what she wrote about herself. It’s always enlightening to see how they see themselves.
I am really looking forward to this year. I hope Samantha makes a ton of friends and doesn’t get as stressed out as she did last year. I really want her to like school as much as possible. It’s a long road ahead…
