Well, the school year has begun again. After a long summer of hospital stays and caring for my husband after surgery, I have to say I was pretty ready to return to work. My new group of kids arrived last Friday, wide eyed and quiet as church mice..But they have settled in and the environment has started to change.
We stepped right into curriculum and procedures to get us going in this new school year. Third graders are so immature at the beginning, but they really grow and change quickly. I have a great class so far...with a few stinkers.. But nothing I can't handle. New students arrive every now and then and we just push in another desk, I have more kids this year but they all seem to be very well behaved.
Ive had a few criers, but the tears dry up quickly as the tissue box empties. Much of my curriculum is currently below grade level and we're moving slowly, but growth happens quickly in this grade level so Im looking forward to seeing them change.
YAY! I am so happy for you! I hope they stay fantastic, bright and inspiring daily!
