I spent today meeting 19 of my 20 girls and their parents. It is always so exciting, and a little nerve-wracking meeting my new students. I know that the girls were just as excited and nervous to meet me as I was to meet them.
Each one of my girls found her desk, located her locker, and then colored a stick girl that I use for grouping. The last thing to do before each student leaves is to take their "First Day" picture. I cut out each picture and glue it on a camera name tag. Putting a face to a name is not only helpful to me, but also to my colleagues. Of course the girls love seeing their pictures hanging on the door.
The day was great! Unfortunately, there were two things that put a damper on the greatness. The first was the heat. It was so hot in my classroom. I do not get much of a breeze because the windows face a courtyard. I do have four fans in the classroom so at least there is air movement. Tomorrow is going to be another hot one so I am planning a little extra time on the playground. The second downer was when I bent down to pick up a book and managed to slam my head into the corner of a bookshelf. I have a large bump right between my eyes, and a bit of a headache. Now, it was bad enough that I hit my head, but somehow I managed to hit the shelf at the exact same time one of my students along with her family walked in the room. Holding back tears, I made it through my little spiel before I sprinted down the stairs to the school nurse for an icepack. I am just hoping that the bump will get smaller and not bruise before tomorrow.
I can't wait to show off my adorable classroom to everyone tomorrow!
