As a teacher in my mind there are two different kinds of new year. There is the new year that starts on January 1st and there is the new school year that starts in September. For me my new year starts more in September than it does in January. When I talk about next year I refer to the next school year. When people ask how my year went I think automatically about my September - August as being my year.
So as we move into a new calendar year I get excited. January is when all the fun gets a kickstart in grade one. They are reading and they are ready to write more and the enthusiasm of learning avalanches. I am eager to see what this year will bring us.
