I have almost made it through my first week of school! It has been a really good week, in fact it just might be one of the best 1st weeks I have had in a long time. Having only 15 kids in my class has a huge part to do with it and I think also the fact that I have more years of teaching under my belt has made it easier. The kids seem to be adjusting well to 1st grade and the majority of them are very well behaved. Last year had to be one of my toughest years of teaching and it seems this year I have been dealt with a much easier class. There is a lot more calmness in our classroom which I love! Other than being extremely exhausted at the end of every day this week has gone well. The icing on the cake happened today when I walked in my room from planning with my team and noticed a bouquet of roses that my sweet husband had sent wishing me a happy first week of school! How sweet is that?! The kids asked who sent them to me and when I told them Mr. Seamans many of them said, "He sure is nice"! I heard another kid say " but you don't even know him" and someone replied "yeah, but I know he is nice". Haha!
Here is another kid quote of the week....
I told the kids today to take out thier "chunky" eraser, the big pink one, to use for thier writing assignment (I don't know why I call it that by the way) and one little boy raised his hand with a sad look on his face and said " I don't have a funky eraser".
I will have many funny quotes throughout the year so stay tuned! I could write a book from the ones I have heard over the years!
