School-year startup tips that will help you make a positive first

impression.

Like other "first days" in

your life, your first day as a teacher in your own classroom will have you feeling

excited and anxious in equal measures.

Don't worry too much, though. Even experienced teachers feel anxious about facing new students at the beginning of each school year.

Take a deep breath. Look around your

newly decorated classroom.

Double-check those lessons plans.

Remind yourself of all you've done to get the year off to a successful start.
