Day 4 of School is Over... Deanna? Are you ready??

So after a very long weekend (fun, but LONG), it was back to school today. Boy, that torture beacon alarm clock sure blared early! ALL of my lovely kiddos at school showed up, as they have each and every day since we started. Twenty-five {excited} little bodies wiggled and stirred throughout the day. I am *B*E*A*T*!!!

Our schedule got a bit changed up today since we have 40 [yes, FORTY!] more Kindergarten students than we expected. Two teachers have hurriedly been hired which altered our master schedule a bit. It sure will be nice to get into a routine that lasts.

Dee, ready for your new school adventure??

Whew! Long day!

First day (all meetings) - check. Open house - check. Pillow - heading there soon!! Boy, it is exhausting to be "game on" with 25 sets of parents! Well, 20 really since five families didn't show. I wonder if they'll all be there Wednesday?

Here are a few pictures of my room. Enjoy!

Why am I still up??

My clothes are ready. Classroom is ready. Lesson plans are done. Bag is packed.

I am such a night owl that I can't get myself wound down and ready for bed. Heading there now... hopefully I won't have too many nightmares! This is always the time for dreaming that I am in my classroom in my jammies with no desks and no lessons... all boys... fire drill with locked doors... no students showing up... only parents showing up... alarm clock not going off... forgetting how to get to school from the freeway... You name it: This is the time of year to fear it dream it.

The truth is that everything is ready so it's all irrational. It's always good to get the first week under my belt.
