Well, two weeks in and I'm still alive. I've been busier than ever and fall asleep early every night. I've got a good group of kiddos that are excited to be there and have (mostly) taken well to having a male teacher so early into their schooling. I look forward to the next 34 weeks of learning.

St. Monicas 46 years ago my kindergarten teacher was Ms. Stacey or Lacy. I can still remeber her face just like my 1st grade teacher who might of been Mrs. Stacey?
2nd grade Sister David Marie (never forget her or the Nun who gave out licks for missing homework every morning, half completed half a lick)
3rd grade remember her face
4th grade remember her face (Converse Elem)
5th grade Mrs. Mueller (OLPH)
6th grade Mrs. Blodgett (Converse Elem)
You're right alton about remembering your teachers. I can remember most of my teachers names but their faces have escaped me.

Why no tank set up in the class????... I am sure the kids would love it and would help easing them I am sure... Maybe even mold them into little salties....
It's all about the $$$ or rather lack of $$$. Teachers spend lots of their own money on the classroom each year. I just changed grade levels and had to spend even a bit more than I originally anticipated. I did have a nice offer of a 12 gallon NC donation but it is a bit too far for me to travel and pick up at this time.

You would be amazed at how often the kids ask, "Can I go home now?" As if the time they spend at school is flexible. Honestly, it's kind of cute (coming from a 5 year old).
