Today was my first day with kids at my new school! It went pretty well. I still don't feel like I have a good understanding of the ins and outs, but that's to be expected and will come with time. It made for kind of a weird, "What do I do next?" feeling all day. My kids are pretty good. Chatty, but they seem eager to please. I know some of them are going to be a challenge academically, and possibly behaviorally, but I think it will be a good year. I have 18 in my class right now. Almost equal boys and girls. Only one didn't come today. My classroom is super nice and looks pretty good if I do say so myself! I keep meaning to take pictures, but I get so busy I always forget. I'll try to remember tomorrow.
The one thing that kinda sucks about my new job, aside from having to learn a new building, is the drive. It takes about 50 minutes to get from our apartment to my school. It's not bad in the morning. It gives me time to think and get prepared. But coming home is hard. It takes too long, and when we have things to do in the evening and dinner to cook it seems like we're eating late. I guess it's just a new routine I will have to get used to. Even now it's almost 7:30 and we are still waiting on dinner to cook. I guess I will have to start looking for more make ahead, quick, and slow cooker recipes. If you have any suggestions send em my way!
