First week back
So, I have successfully navigated my first week back at school. I am exhausted. I think I had forgotten how much work goes into getting a classroom up and running. I'm glad I started working on it a week earlier this year, but even with the head start I had to haul J.R. in with me the Sunday before school started to move and rearrange all the heavy stuff and things I can no longer reach. It has been in the mid to upper 80's all week, and my school does not have air conditioning so my classroom has been in the mid to upper 80's as well. It is never a good thing when you can smell yourself by 10 a.m. I sweat through my clothes before lunch, and I have been keeping a tub of water under my desk so that I can soak my feet when the kids are at their specials. It looks like more of the same for next week so wish me luck keeping hydrated. In terms of the actual start of the school year, so far everything has gone fine. I got a great group of kids and I'm on pace with my plans. Who could ask for anything more? Unless we're talking personal a/c units. Then, I'm asking!
