January 6, 1860
Today after wrangling my students into some kind of order and hearing their Christmas recess stories the day finally came to an end. I am much more comfortable than I was my first day of teaching last fall. In fact, I feel like an old hand at teaching now. I did not know what to expect upon my return as far as being back in the classroom. I had enjoyed my time at home over Christmas with family and our little community of friends. It had been a great homecoming after being away from the country for so long. But, it actually felt good to be with my little first year students again.
