The New Batch of Third Graders

As of Thursday I am now officially a second year teacher. Compared to last year, these last couple days went a little more smoother. I did have a kids try to cut his hair (his mom told me that she got him a hair cut in hopes he wouldn't do that), another punch a kids in the chest, and some boys that are really trying to see how far I will go when they push my buttons. Oh this year is going to be grand! But in reality, I had over planned activities for them, which was good. I didn't get everything in, but they were kept busy and the day flew by. Next week we start the real work! Muhahahaha! Now they will see how crazy I really am! I do miss my other kids from last year though. It's a little difficult getting to know a whole new class!

As for other things, Rhett just had his 26th birthday this past Tuesday. It was fun! I got on facebook and texted about everyone I could think of that lived in Flagstaff and invited them to come eat with us at this yummy deli place and go see GI Joe. About everyone showed up! It was great to see everyone come to celebrate with him. I was grateful that they came and that Rhett enjoyed his birthday! GI Joe was decent. Not the best movie ever made, but it wasn't the worse either, so we couldn't complain.

Other than that, nothing really new has been going on. I'm just glad it's Friday, but I have soooo much to do! There's lots of lesson plans and what-not. I really don't get paid squat for what I have to go through! Although I love teaching, I feel like eventually I'll be moving on to something that I'll enjoy more and won't have to bring work home with me. We'll see how this year and the next will play out. I'd love to do something with Spanish. Again, we'll see where life takes us! Meanwhile, it's off the computer and getting stuff done!
