So, today I got to see my friends and even got a few more things done in the classroom. Half the day was spent with the entire faculty in an ice-cold library while we went through the basic beginning of the year business. The afternoon was spent next door congratulating our sister school for their academic achievement of obtaining a "Recognized" status; a portion of the afternoon was spent with the First Grade team outlining curriculum for the first nine weeks of school; another part of the afternoon was spent wandering the halls and talking to everyone catching up on events that occurred during the summer and finally, a small part of that 3 hours was spent in the classroom working on my endless to-do list.
By far, the best part of my day was watching the wee ones come in for their first day of school this morning. We have what's called "The Pegasus Program" which is designed to be a teacher daycare that also models behaviors and learning for developmentally delayed 3 and 4 year olds. Since the teachers had to be at work today, their children started school today. The other students will come on Tuesday with all the other students. Still, it was astonishing that so many babies that I remember being born just last year (or so) were suddenly old enough to be in our program! How did that happen???? Time flies... I just wish MY students were walking through the doors today.
Everything that I wanted to get done today is finished and I have a few more things that I should be able to fit in during tomorrow's meetings. All in all a lovely day. I am feeling like I would like to begin planning lessons but I must confess... I am tired.
I think it was my wedges...
