You never grow out of it.

Or at least I didn't.  I'm spending the next four days at Fairview Elementary, visiting as an author.  I'll be going classroom to classroom, reading to the kids and sharing my experience with writing.  I even teach a bit with the older classes, sharing a simple version of my writing formula, and creating a story with them.  Simple, right?  Except that for some reason I am worried about impressing the teachers even more than I was when I was an elementary student myself.  When I walk into a classroom, I feel like a kid again; hoping that people will like me and the teachers will give me a good grade

The kids, I love!  They think I am a celebrity (and I'M not going to burst their bubble), but the teachers are studying my every move and word.  Or at least that's how I feel sometimes.  Thursday, I'll be in my wife's classroom at fairview.  I'm hoping at least SHE will go easy on me.  :-)

LOL The teachers are probably just happy to have another adult in the classroom! I bet you'll knock their socks off!

One day down, three to go!  I visited 4 classrooms today and they all went pretty well (I think).  We'll see how the rest of the week goes.
