School Is Officially In Session

First day back today! I'm doing my best to have a positiver attitude about this. I'm trying to keep my chin up and remember that with each day, I'm one day closer to summer and retirement!

Yesterday was not too terribly productive for me. I did manage to get my IEPs out to the regular ed teachers and I touched base with my new parents (had to leave messages for a couple) but that's about it. I figure today will be a day of getting to know my new students, talking about our summers, laying down my procedures for classes and then having the students ready their binders. We won't be doing much "learning" this week...just getting back into the swing of things. 

One unfortunate aspect about today is that I've basically been awake since 12:30 last night. I went to bed around 8:00, fell asleep soon after and then I was up...and watched the clock from 12:30 until, I believe the last time I peeked was about 3:30. I'm rather tired but no big deal...I'll manage. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LISA!!!  She is often unlucky enough to have her birthday on one of the first days of school...bummer but at least it will soften the blow of the first day. We girls will make it special for her. 

And that's about all I've got. I need to get to school early so I can get a few piddly things done before kids arrive. It'll be nice to be so close to the entrance doors though so we can snag a couple students and show them our new room before they head off to where we used to be. 

Happy Wednesday to all! Wish me luck! Later
