After several days, weeks and months of the phone ringing at various strange and unusual hours one enters into a set routine - jump out of bed (if one happened to be still in bed), run helter skelter down a flight of stairs, jump over the cat (if one happens to possess a cat) and grab the phone before the last *brrring*....Unfortunately, one then has the task of trying to sound like they have been standing next to the phone peacefully and contentedly waiting for its blissful tones to fill the little cottage that is situated on top of a hill!
On such a day *THE* phone rang with *THE* phone call which would change my whole year 2011. The joy and excitement which filled me could not be contained as I found out that I would be receiving my own class. From the day I received the phone call to the day I stepped foot into my classroom the only thought on my mind was that I could not wait to meet each and everyone of the students that would fill the classroom with their imaginative ideas and deep, really deep comments about the world!
A wise teacher once told me that the 'world was my oyster'.....and now it truly was and what an oyster that was going to turn out to be!
