This daily blogging thing isn't too bad this month other than I'm exhausted at the end of the day! I'm not stressing out about it though... I've tripled my post count for the year, so I'm going to count that as a success! :)
Year 18 officially started yesterday as the kids came in the door. I couldn't bring myself to do the high five (YET!), but I'm okay with that. Maybe it will be a Friday special event now that my kids know me a bit better. :) This year started out rough with no internet access in my room yesterday, but thankfully none of my lesson plans required the internet. :) My students seem like really awesome kiddos so far and I've enjoyed some of the fun quirkiness of the new group. For example, here's a conversation from today:
Scene: Beginning of 6th hour, while going around to take attendance and working on learning names...
Student: Mrs. T, I have a question for you.
Me: Okay, (Student name), what's up?
Student: What was your favorite grade in school?
Me: Grade? Like Grade Level?
Student: Yes
Me: *thinking* Probably 5th grade
Student: Yeah, that was a good grade. Why?
Me: I had a great teacher and it's that age where you are old enough to be independent but young enough that you are still a kid.
Student: Good answer!
Me: So turn about... what would be your answer?
Student: I don't know yet - I'm not done with this year!
I have a feeling that my kiddos this year will be a blast! :)
