Here we go again," Tina thought.

It was the first day of school.

She always got a little nervous on the first day of school.

"Hi, I'm Mrs. Robertson. What's your name?"

The teacher walked down the corridor introducing herself.

"My name is Tina."

She shook the teachers hand and waited patiently to enter the classroom.

Tina started to calm down because she thought the teacher was very nice.

Mrs. Robertson moved on to the next student.

"Good morning, I'm Mrs. Robertson. Whats your name?"

"My name is Jane," replied the student timidly.

"How was your summer vacation?" asked Mrs. Robertson.

Soon it was time to enter the classroom.

Mrs. Robertson showed the student's where to put their lunch bags.

Then they gathered on the carpet.

Mrs. Robertson welcomed everyone and told them how excited she was to have them for the year.

"You will be working with each other frequently," she informed us.

"I want to make sure we are all on the same page," she explained further

"Please let me know what is important to you, what you value in your classroom, your classmates, your teacher and yourself," she continued.

So we sat quietly for a while thinking about the things we valued.

"Are you ready to discuss." she asked after a few minutes.

Everyone was quiet.

Then she calmly said, "Ok, I will start."

We were all excited to hear what Mrs. Robertson had to say.
