Friday Funny in Room 9

I got up at 5:30 a.m. to swim...and I forgot my make up bag and arrived at work with wet hair only to find out I had morning traffic duty. Uh! I did not have time to re-copy permission slips that needed to go home today...they are now front and back forms and I had only copied the front side.

As I was taking roll, I noticed the moms talking out front of my classroom. I asked a little girl to go outside and ask her mom if she would make me some copies.

The girl came back inside and about 30 seconds later her mother came in. I walked over and asked if she had a few minutes and if she wouldn't mind making 25 copies. Then she smiled and said, "Susie asked if I would go get you coffee!"

We both had a good laugh. First of all I don't know this mom well enough to boss her around like a servant- and secondly, I don't like coffee!

TGIF!

TGIF!

Tomorrow is FRIDAY! It will be the 8th day of school...with 172 to follow. So far I really like my students...while the other 2nd grade teachers are finding the students a bit immature...mine seem so mature- coming from first grade and previously kinder.

On Tuesday we had a 49er/Gatorade Camp come to our school for a 90 minute session. It was a sunny day but the wind was howling! It was well organized- all I had to do was supply ice, a table and 5 helpers. Our 4 second grades, two 4th grades and one fifth grade participated...we could have 150 kids max. It was a fun, amazing time. The kids got to run over hurdles, hit a dummy, throw the football into a target and run a few drills and catch a spiral.

When it ended I helped clean up and the students were to return to their classrooms- coming from kinder and first, I was worried that I was taking too long and who knows what my students would be up to...but when I looked over at my classroom, there they were in line, waiting for me. Now that doesn't happen in kinder...and not likely in first...but next fall....well I think I will be saying my class is immature.

First Day of 2nd Grade

I wish I had a first day of school photo from when I was a student in 2nd grade...but for the record, today was fun!

And like I said when I went to first grade from kinder...IT IS MUCH EASIER!! I took all the 2nd grader's photos today...100 of them...and I did that in less time that it took me to photograph 25 kinders on the first day!

HARDER*GO TO SCHOOL*

I went from here

...our own private beach...on Wednesday ...

to here tomorrow:

 

Yes...I have been gone for a month...and tomorrow I have to be back at work. The students arrive on the 11th...all the construction kept us from returning before Labor Day. So if you are reading my blog for the first time...TCRWP friends, return for school stuff in a week...until then, enjoy knowing that I may have had more summer than you, but when I don't get out of school until June 25 you can laugh! (Leave a comment so I know you were here!)

But I am woman- hear me ROAR!! If I can carry a 45 pound pack over the pass of Santa Cruz Island last Sunday, I can conquer my classroom piles...but the view from that mountain cannot be matched.
