-I love my new room (that would be my 6th new room at my school), I love my class, and I love all the sights, sounds, and smells of school in the fall (not to be confused with the springtime smells P.U.). And, I love love love my Promethean Board. I don't like leaving my girls!!! Thank goodness the day in the life of a teacher exceeds the speed of light and the aches of missing my girls aren't felt much during the day.
- Kyndra has been filled with anxiety about the school year. Her fears subsided a bit right after open house, but returned shortly after. I was worried for her (I don't know where her worrying comes from), but never fear she "LOVES" first grade. "It is better than the best!" Most of the details are unknown of course, but she has been playing school all afternoon with Kylee. I think I am getting a glimpse into her classroom. The discipline policy is clear in my mind as Kylee is not the greatest pupil. I do believe there is also some sort of sign language to use the restroom.
-Kylee, oh Kylee has started back to pretty school much to her dismay. She informed us that a lot of the kids in her class don't really like her. My curiosity sparked, I asked her why that was. She said she just couldn't understand why since she is the nicest girl in her class and the best listener. Hmmm, I just don't know why the kids are a little put off. That part is funny... the tear filled, clawmarked, screaming drop offs... NOT SO CUTE. Doesn't help with the guilt factor.
Here she is ready to go... this is not what she picked out to wear, but her choice outfit required ironing that was just not happening this morning... maybe tomorrow.
Back to school bash...
And now I must go, I am supposed to be cleaning the super dirty trailer for our upcoming Labor Day trip. Whose idea was it to plan a trip the first weekend after school starts??? I'm sure it will be just what the doctor ordered when the time comes.
Have a great first week of school all of you school goers and educators!
