Mrs. Deliveries

Ah...school has started once again. I made it through my first three weeks and am now rewarded with a three day weekend. The trouble is, I've also come down with my first cold of the school year. I feel like I've accomplished almost nothing...last week we DIBELed our kids for three days in a row, had three sunny/rainy day schedules (because of the heat advisory we had indoor "recess" on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday), we showed three full-length Disney movies because they aren't independent enough to work on their own while we test, and we still have DRAs to do which we figured will take us 17 hours if all goes perfectly. Hmm...when are supposed to teach them?? I know I have accomplished some things...they are much better at the routines and procedures, and can even walk in a semi-straight line semi-quietly. Boy the beginning of the year is rough! I had it good last year...not to mention I have 7 more students now than I did for most of last year. I won't even get into some of the behavior problems I have in my room...again, I had it good last year.

Dave is now biking to and from work most days...which must be brutal on the way home. He's irritated with one of his co-workers right now so that makes a lot of his days less-happy. We've both got Sunday and Monday off and are really excited. It's like having an actual weekend together! Can't wait to see everyone at Christmas time, take care!
