I made it!

Joanne drew this on our white board:


My first day of school was good. My class was well behaved (and so cute). My student with autism is pretty funny. I was so nervous the night before, but once the kids got there it was pretty fun. We had a pretty laid-back day. The principal walked in while they were silently doing an assessment (yeah for good timing) and so overall it was a good day. I definitely have a few challenging students. It was very hot today and I let the class vote on whether they wanted me to take them out for P.E. (I prefaced it with an explanation of how hot it was outside...very hot) and so we stayed inside.

I went to Bible study tonight and twas good, but now I have to figure out what I'm doing tomorrow. I feel like my "things to do" just keeps getting bigger and bigger and I feel like I can hardly plan a day but am expected to plan a whole year.


Here's my beautiful class:

Congratulations on your successful first day, dear daughter! You have a LOT of folks cheering you on from Ellwood School too -- Alice Robles, Barb Moore and Irene Green all asked how you were doing. Your classroom looks wonderful! It's fun to hear of your tales, and see photos too. I hope Joanne's weeks are going well too. Love, Mom

Aw, I LOVE the pics - thanks for putting them up. The kids look so sharp in their uniforms. . .so cute for sure!! I want to call you soon because I'm sure there's so much more to tell then you could possibly have time to blog about. I'll try you this weekend! And don't forget, a relaxing getaway to the Central Coast can be redeemed at any time. :) Proud of you!
