The director of early childhood for the entire district is coming. Tomorrow. To our school. To my classroom. This is the first time since I have had this position that he has come to my classroom. I am not priviledged enough to know the reason for his visit, so that gets my imagination spinning a bit. I am a little nervous and will spend some extra trime today tidying up at the end of the day. I will work to file some papers that I have been meaning to file for a while. I will double check my plan book to make sure that it accurately reflects what I plan to do tomorrow and Friday.
I cannot change my teaching, my routines or expectations because of his visist. Nor can I make more closet space magically appear. All I can do is give it my best. I can try to tell my jitters that thats all they are, jitters. I can lead morning meeting with evidence of organization and preparation. I can enusre that all students have a chance to participate, but I do this on a normal basis anyways. So I will do my best to deliver high quality instruction in a slightly cleaner classroom.
Like I said earlier, I don't know the reason for his visit. I also don't know the length of his visit in my classroom or if I will have a chance to talk with him after. Only time will tell, and jitters will pass.
Jitters will pass

Jitters mean that you truly care what you do and how your classroom works. That's a great thing. I hope the visit goes well!
Good luck chica! Keep me posted!
