First week of School

I AM TIRED!!!

Somehow, I suspect its because I love it so much, but I forget every summer how tiring teaching is until school starts. I am WORN out. I know it will get better because it will calm down now that we are getting in the groove of things.

The first day was great. The kids looked so awesome in their uniforms. They even like them:) Mr. Collins, our new headmaster, challenged the kids to remember two words, Respect and Responsibility. He said that if they remembered those two words and lived by them, we would have a great year. We then headed off to our classes for 10 minutes each. Thursday brought the first "real" day of school. For the most part, it was smooth. My classes are going ok. I love my history kids. They are so much fun and engaging. I think we are going to have a great year together as we explore GA and Ancient Civilizations.

Today was another day of getting in the groove. Kids complaining about homework. Sounds like a normal weekend. I am spending the weekend recharging the batteries, cleaning house, and relaxing.
