Dear Class,
You don’t know me yet, and that’s okay! I can’t wait to meet all of you in two years! We are going to get on each other’s nerves, but I think we are all up to the challenge. I just want to tell you a few things, even if you can read yet.
I’m learning how to teach you guys the stuff you need to know so you can all be great people, because I think you will all be the leaders of tomorrow.
Recommended for you
We won’t always get along, I’m sure I’ll have to raise my voice at least once or twice, but it’s because I only want what is best for you.
I can’t promise there won’t be any tests, but I can promise you will know why you are taking them.
I also can’t promise that I won’t embarrass you all with lame jokes, but you will always have a place to smile and feel safe.
I won’t judge you, I’m not getting paid enough.
There will be homework (I know I’m terrible) but if you work with me, I’ll try to make it not be the worst thing ever.
I’ve been where you are, it will get better no matter what. I promise that.
You may not like me, that’s okay, I’m a handful sometimes.
I may not like you either, but there will be respect for you while you are in my class.
I can’t tell the future, and I’m going to say this SLOWLY, I don’t know what’s for lunch.
ASK ME TO GO TO THE BATHROOM ONE MORE TIME.
Bear with me, it’s my first year, I’m just as nervous as you guys are.
You know how you think your parents have eyes in the back of their heads? Yeah, I have them too.
Keep me in the loop with what’s cool, I need to stay with what’s “hip”
If I do my math right, the members of Mr. Hogenbirks second grade class of 2020 will be in preschool now. You guys don’t get how excited I am to have every single one of you guys in my class! College is fun, but I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life in the classroom. I can already see your bright and smiling faces looking at me that first day in August 2020!
