Nerves!

Well, fellow teachers, it's that time when I start to get nervous about the beginning of the year.  Typical, right?  Well, I am extremely nervous for this year for the obvious reasons - new school, new kids, new position.   I am thoroughly frightened about failing as I have been throughout my entire life.  Well, the stress dreams have begun.  Some people, when stressed, dream about tornadoes, hurricanes and the like.  Nope, not the Strunks.  Bill has nightmares that he loses control of his class and is put on positive assistance.   I  have nightmares (and recently daymares!!) that I forget about a college course I signed up for and never have my assignments finished nor do I pass the class.  I fail.  I know as soon as I wake up that this will not happen and that I would be fully aware of any classes I signed up for.  It sure doesn't make me feel better during the night- and daymares.  It is getting out of control!  Hopefully, it's like how we all get ourselves worked up over something only to find out that everything turns out fine.

Keeping my fingers crossed ...

Welcome!

Hi and welcome to Mrs. Strunk's third grade class!  I am off onto a new adventure this year.  After teaching special education for 17 wonderful years and teaching at the same school for 15 of those years, I am taking a new direction.  I am going to teach at a different primary center as a general education third grade teacher.  I am very, very excited and just as nervous.  I hope that you enjoy my blog.  I would like to share funny things that happen in class, tidbits of information, and my love for my students.  Feel free to share your thoughts on how I can better improve this site.  Also, feel free to post and comment.  

Off to enjoy the last week or so of vacation!
