If only
If only I wasn't so tired, already. It's only day three, but I feel like it's day thirty. I'm so tired. I need a nap when I get home, but I can't really nap because I want to play with Hunter and he wants to play with me. I can't keep my eyes open past 9pm, it seems. I sure hope that I get into the groove soon. This is going to really knock me out!
Anyhow, day #1 was great. The kids in my grade 1 class are the kids that I spent the last part of their kinder year with, last June. It was great to have them recognize me and I loved already knowing their names. Day #2 was also great but I was a little under-prepared. The grade 2/3's finished all that I had planned for them before lunch was over - yipes. It will be a lot easier to prepare for them, now that I know who I will be dealing with! It's much easier once I have faces and bodies to imagine doing my lessons. I think that I will be cahllenged by only seeing them once a week. It is going to be hard on me, because I don't feel like I have much contact with them. I feel like I am going to have to start fresh every Wednesday morning (which, could be a good thing, I guess).
Well, here goes Day #3...... I'm teaching a dance to all the grade 1s and 2s from the school.. could be interesting!

Hey Liz,
I am actually relieved that I am not the only one who could sleep for years right now! I am so pooped and I am only starting day 5. I am loving the 1/2's though- cute age hey?? Hang in there, and make sure you take care of yourself.
Luv Jess
The first few days back are always tough. You'll get used it pretty soon. HUGS
I remember those days, hang in there. I don't know how you do it, teaching and then coming home to take care of your little guy. I've never done both at the same time, no wonder you're exhausted.
Hang in there! It sounds like things will fall into place. I feel better knowing I'm not alone. But you know what I thought of while I was getting all stressed out over it all? A presentation that we had in Personal Planning class on stress, how to avoid it and how to deal with it, and how important it is for your health not to overdue it. It's a good reminder for myself to take it easy and I'd like to pass it on to you. I don't want you overdoing it. Keep smiling.
You'll find a groove. Hang in there. Give Hunter a kiss for me!
