It's so good to hear from everyone! It's an exciting start to the school year. I've done OWL for over a year now, but I'm still nervous. I know that once we get going, the nerves will go away. I have a unique situation this year because two of my classes are the same groups I had last year and three are new. I've never gotten a second year with the same class. It should be fun! I'll share which activities work well after I meet with them tomorrow! Happy First Days everyone!
