The mother of one of my students passed away after battling breast cancer for less than a year.
Another child threw up on the floor (which is naturally carpeted) twice as we were preparing for lunch on a nearly 100 degree day.
I thought I forgot the code to our class ipad cabinet. But alas, I set the code wrong. (forehead slap!)
Our school copier broke down on the first day of school, and the second, and . . . too many times to count.
Roto Rooter also had to be called the first day of school . . . thankfully not to my room.
And it's been so hot the last few weeks that I seriously wonder why I shower in the morning and bother to do hair and makeup. By ten o'clock I'm a hot mess!
In spite of it all, I have to say our new principal is aMaZiNg!!!
I'm piloting a 1:1 ipad classroom this year! Woot woot!! (I'd love to hear your favorite apps.)
I have a nice group of kids in spite of the reputation that has preceded them since preschool and kindergarten. I lucked out, let me just tell you. The other two classes have some real stinkers. And while I have a few pips of my own I think it will be a good year.
I have lots of things to share but haven't hung around to take pictures because of the heat so please be patient.
How have your first few weeks gone?
Thanks for taking the time to share this wonderful post with us. I enjoyed stopping by your blog recently and reading these fun articles. Have a great rest of your day and keep up the posts.
