First Day 2010-2011

Great start to a great new school year!  I managed to get up on time.  After a summer of sleeping in that was a major step.  Kids got up on time and with no major complaints.  After a few deep sighs the day started and within 30 minutes everyone agreed that it great to be back in school. 

Taking it easy as we ease back into our school life.  Don't want to overdo it the first day.  Everyone was finished before lunch. 

Excited about the days and weeks ahead.  First day has always been stressful for me.  But not today.  Kept my promise to myself of no lesson plans.  Just made a few notes on what I wanted to talk about and cover today.  Have done the same for tomorrow.  Hopefully these lists of talking points will become more of a school journal instead of a strict plan that must be followed. 

My gang adjusting to the new routine of school.
