We finished our first week of school, 178 more days left in the school year. Wednesday was a bear: copier down, laminator roller full of melted plastic, new wireless network did not connect to my LAN drive making it so I could not get documents I needed, etc. But we just kept SMILING even if we had to FAKE IT!
I really enjoyed seeing the students. Two of my favorite student quotes from the first week:
A 1st grader was supposed to be counting push-ups for his 3rd grade partner. When I asked the first grader how many his partner did so that I could record it, he looked up with the sweetest face and said, “A wot.” Luckily, his partner was counting, also.
During warm-ups, a third grader said, “Ms. Dawn, you look like you have been working out your whole life!” Okay, so it came from a third grader, but it is nice to have your effort recognized.
