First Friday
Mood:  happy
Today was another good day at school. Tyler and Lexi were absent today. Tyler has a hairline fracture in his foot. What a way to start out the year!
Today we took our first time tests and the students wrote an essay describing their families. It was really interesting to read about everyone's families. We have some terrific writers in our class!
Then in the afternoon we read Teacher from the Black Lagoon and everyone created their teacher and described him/her. After recess we worked on our alliteration poems and coloring in the letters. We got some great work done today.
Looking forward to a long weekend and then coming back on Tuesday to really start working!

First Day of School
Mood:  energetic
Today was the first day of school. I was nervous, just like I always am. I got up really early so I could go put the finishing touches on our room.
As soon as the kids got into the room I was so excited to be back. There were so many smiling faces looking back at me!
We spent a lot of time organizing things and then we shared a little bit about ourselves. I couldn't believe that there are two girls in our room who each have 8 pets! That's crazy!
I was kind of a mean teacher and gave the kids a math test on the first day, but it was important to me to see where they're at.
After the test we went outside and played some games. Pretty Packer Pumpkin Person and Really Rad Rubber Racer was really fun!
The day went so fast.
All of my students seem so nice. I think we're going to have a great year!
I can't wait to go back tomorrow!!
