The first day of school picture is a classic pose for kids all over the country. They hold up signs, document their favorite colors, and show off their outfits. We absolutely love it!

But kids aren’t the only ones with a first day back to school. These teachers have captured their first day back and posted it to Instagram. Hello #TeachersFirstDay! Enjoy these creative, fun pics from teachers. And if you have one to add to the mix, use the hashtag #TeachersFirstDay and post it to Instagram. We’ll be adding more of our favorites to this post!

No one likes change, but it always seems every September there are always SO many changes!! And do you know what change brings? …COMPLAINTS!! ?Lots of them!! And last night, I was one of those complainers too!! –> CHANGE YOUR MINDSET, CHANGE YOUR LIFE!! ☀️ Any other teachers out there uneasy about going back? Or leaving your littles? (Omg don't cry lisa don't cry…) … ?? This week I'm going to give you a few ways you can help yourself have a better school year!! ???? And here's he first tip– ?FIND THE POSITIVE VIEWPOINT IN A NEGATIVE SITUATION!! ? This is EXACTLY what I had to do! ? Always ask yourself, "what is one positive thing about this situation? What is one opportunity within this situation?" … for me, it's getting a whole new group of little minds to mold, and meet all of the new families I'll be working with this school year! So I encourage YOU to try to find a POSITIVE in a NEGATIVE situation today! ? ..have a good day, and GOOD LUCK to everyone back to school this week!!! ? ..and if all else fails, pay for the person behind you at Dunkin ? #bestfeelingever ! ? . . #champagnelover #momsohard #athomeworkouts #diylover #diyproject #disneylover #coffeeislife # #guacislife #ilovefood #momofboys #airforcewife #militaryspouse #educhat #preschoolteacher #teacherlife #earlychildhoodeducation #earlychildhood #ilovechampagne #poppinbottles #letsdothis #healthylunch #momproblems #teachermom #runchat #magickingdommamas #naturelover #teachertribe #disneygrammers #milso
