Monday Night

So I went to update the classroom blog, and OF COURSE the editor is down. Things have been going well. It helps that this group of kids can sit down and listen at the same time. Oh, and the fact that I may have a better understanding of what to do may help too!!

Big Splashes

Last week, my class jumped into the Big Splash Program. A program that has students with special needs swim with certified instructors. My kids love it and I love that they are working on focusing, concentration, and motor skills. Not a bad way to spend a Monday morning!!

I am digging into my graduate work this semester. I am really ready for it to be over and the semester has just begun. Next spring, if all goes well, I will be able to graduate and step back from furthering my education for a little while.

New Requirement

So I have a new requirement to list when hiring for a classroom assistant...must know how to play Go Fish.

Its been a bit of a long week, as my students and assistants (and hopefully not me) proceed to pass germs around. I have found myself requiring a lot of sleep, which will hopefully help me to stay away from the germs.

The classroom is not ready for next week, but before I even think about it I plan to enjoy my long weekend!

Technology

I have just written the classroom blog entry for the day twice now and the program still won't save it and just LOST it AGAIN!!

Outside of the issues with the districts website editor, I feel very good about this school year!

Back to fighting with the editor!

Great 1st Day!

Had a great day, and I have good feelings about this year as my class seems amazing. Three girls that are quickly becoming the Ladies in Pink will keep my laughing and smiling. All three of them are so smart in their own ways. I am also excited to have a few students who get and even enjoy my sense (or lack of) humor.

Sailing Into a New Year!

Day one down, 189 to go! I gained an additional student today, bringing my total for this coming year to nine. Three girls and six boys. Also, three second graders and six third graders. Should be a great crew. Not to excited about sitting in a very long meeting, 8-4 tomorrow and then having back to school night for two hours tomorrow night. May have to test out my new coffee maker and see how many cups it really can do!!

Quick Update

The school year has ended (won't lie, a few weeks ago) and I survived my first year of teaching!!
