First Day of School

The day all teachers dread has arrived...I survived the first day and am exhausted. I have a smaller class than usual right now, but I am sure some will be moved in before long. I survived the mountain of school supplies, actually got some put away and sorted back out to the kids. I got all my kids home the right way, which is the most important thing on the first day. I hardly sat down today other than to eat a very quick lunch. That reminds me, I was starving by 12:30 when I got to eat, need to figure out a better breakfast.....I'm not even sure how much sense this post makes, I am so tired and probably not even making sense at this point. I hope tomorrow will be a little easier, I have to actually start teaching stuff tomorrow. There will be some challenges this year......Well, even though it is just 5:30, I am seriously considering taking a bath and getting in my pj's and laying on the couch and not moving until bedtime.

Like it or not....

Well, tomorrow is the first day of school with kids. I am not ready. I met some of my kids last Friday, should be an interesting year, have already shared some stories with some of you :) I really do not like the first day of school, actually the first week, it's so much work...sorting school supplies, figuring out transportation, getting used to a new schedule, learning names (I am not good with remembering names), getting kids used to my rules and classroom procedures and all that other stuff that you do at the beginning of the year. I have name tags and a welcome back to school fun page ready to go for tomorrow morning so hopefully that will go okay and give me some time to get things organized. Think about me tomorrow as I will begin training a whole new set of kids....Not to mention, it's been so hot, I don't know if we will even have outside recess since our recess time is later this year than last. Also, I have to learn a new duty schedule for myself, it'll take me forever to figure out where I am supposed to be and when!
