Well, the 2010-2011 school year has begun for my students. I had 17 students show up today. I've never had that many students show up on the first day of school. I thought that was really cool. I am so happy so many showed up on the first day.
It was very hectic in the morning, though because we had to get to the room and turn right around and go to music and some how I had to take attendance even though I do not know them yet. Boy was that stressful, but we made it through it. There is a possibility that once we get into a routine, it may not be too bad having planning first thing in the morning. I just have to completely change my mind set and put some thought into our schedule.
It was a pretty good day all around. I like the way we are doing lunch time now. We have 45 minute lunch periods and teachers spend 15 minutes of that time on duty. I think it will make the lunch room and playground much nicer places. That is if everyone does duty the way it should be done. We'll see. I know the two teachers I do duty with will work at keeping the students under control.
Tonight was Caleb's last night of swim classes. I told him he could start again in January, but for now, football is enough. He was a little upset because his teacher recommended he stay in Guppy Plus. But, only one child in his class was recommended to move up to Minnow. Caleb said she made fun of the rest of them. I told him to ignore her. Some day someone will do the same to her and she'll realize that it hurts.
