After 23 years of teaching in the elementary setting, there are many things I would tell my first- year self. One of the most important things to remember is to be your genuine self. Your students want to know about you. The more of yourself that you share with your students, the more they will understand you and take interest in what you are teaching. The same goes for them. 

Edutopia has a interesting article about "brining wonder into mathematics."  It talks about  Creatively combining the Notice Wonder strategy with a numberless word problem helps students see themselves as mathematicians.
