After a week of meetings, classroom readying and a great deal of anticipation the real business of school got started today. I can report that the new 6th graders in the building made it through the day with nothing more than the usual first day mishaps. That means there were a few lost (and then found again) children, a couple worried mothers and fathers, and of course a tear or to shed.
I survived as well. And other than swollen feet and a scratchy throat from talking way too much I am no worse for the wear.

Ah, the trials of the first day. Have a great year.
ReplyDeleteThose sixth graders-so owl-eyed and wandering, right? I'm glad you had a good start-more goodness to come. That first day is a big one! (Bet the kids are tired, too!)
ReplyDeleteFeels good to get that first day over and done!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to have a fairly smooth start. It is amazing how much you have to talk in the beginning.
