So here it is, the eve of the first day of school! I suspect everyone goes through a little anticipatory anxiety, whether seasoned or green. I am confident in my ability to teach and engage my students; what worries me is how to incorporate all of the new information that's been handed to me in the past week, and how to create a great art curriculum that meets everybody's expectations, especially my own.

My classroom is looking great and my supplies are laid out. A powerpoint is prepared and our art class responsibilities and rules are posted on the walls. Now, I just need the children.
