My class size saga.

Last Friday I had 18 students on my class list. I procrastinated labeling, although I printed 40 sets of labels over the weekend and made 20 copies of everything.

Monday morning I get to school and my class size was up to 21 so I printed a sheet of new student A,B and C. I started to label my classroom. That afternoon one student moved schools.

Tuesday I gained another student so I printed off student D labels and replaced student C with D.

Wednesday no change. I feel confident I'm ready for open house Thursday.
Thursday I get new student E making it 22. I frantically print off labels so she has a locker and a seat for open house.

Today one drops I am down to 21.

I wonder what Monday will bring???????

On a side note. My third grader is soooooooo excited for Monday, she may drive me absolutely bonkers.

Happy first day of school everyone!!!! (whenever that may be)

Looking for Nebraska 2nd grade Science Classroom teachers!

This summer I am working on developing our district curriculum for the new Science Standards. Anyone else? That's all.

The teacher has lice :/

You itched your head just reading that didn't you?? Lice does not discriminate. Anyone can get it. Even me. So we have A LOT of hair at our house and about a year ago I decided it would be a good idea to grow out my hair to see how long I could go before I couldn't stand it anymore. It is a year and a half later and I had/have lice. Nice experiment huh? So my daughter's Kindergarten teacher is a good friend of mine and the day after Thanksgiving break came the e-mails. "What a day, I've sent 2 home with lice and another 2 told me that they spent Thanksgiving break bagging up toys and shampooing with special shampoo." and then "5th one just went home." I raced home at 5:00 to discover that my kinder had a head full and guess who slept in a hotel bed with her over Thanksgiving? Yes me!! Time to freak out. Please don't do this. It doesn't help whatsover and it will be OK, I promise. If you are reading...
