so school has started.... okay so it started a few weeks ago for some, okay for me. The week before school started with actual kids in the classroom, a water heater blew and flooded the 1st grade bathrooms and the 1st grade and kindergarten halls. Four of the eight teachers could stay in thier rooms, but the remaining four needed to be moved to other rooms.... yes, I was one of the lucky ones to move... okay, not lucky! So for those 3 and a half first weeks of school [seriously it's only been that long?] I am in a room that is off of the multipurpose room.... you have to be quiet when coming out of the classroom because they are having PE, and the first few days of PE, or the first few days of anything at school is talking routines .... keep 28 kindergarteners quiet.... okay. sure. So we have had a very adventurous 3 to 4 weeks of school. It seems longer. Friday of this week I get to move back to my room.... of course the wall that has the bullitin board type cover stuff? that is backordered, so whatever I put on that wall - which is of course everything! has to come off in another few weeks when it gets here.... okay.
but the class I have is wonderful. I have 16 boys and 12 girls. They are fun and great kids. But 28 kindergarteners is too many.... one teacher even came by and said - okay so they all have watched us walk by and say - wow, this is a big class!!! But this particular teacher said - 28 huh? and 2 adults! hmmmm.... but then he walked with us a little and did hugs and bubbles with my kiddos! :) [arms folded and mouths quiet :)] Loved it!! We do split classes in three more weeks and then I will have 20 kiddos!!! 20!!!! It will definately be quiet! wow, 8 kiddos gone!!! this will leave me with 12 boys and 8 girls.... wow!!!
Rich and Kyndra started school the same day. Rich is in a new building at school and so he had to move rooms from last year.... the first 3 weeks he has had no computers hooked up.... teach keyboard typing with no computers... hmmmmm......
Kyndra is in classes half the school day with work in the afternoons.... her day is full!!! she goes to school, come home and does some homework...[???] and then to work about 4 hours unless it's friday [6 hours] or saturday [8 hours]... busy girl!!!
shaela starts classes soon. She is excited to get going on it again!! She will be taking some esthetician classes and graduate from esthetician school about March.
WHEW!!
sorry, no pictures....

I know seriously it has only been 3 weeks. Well I am glad you have a good class this year. I am working on mine, lol. Anyways thanks for updating. See you tomorrow, so excited for Friday to move back into our rooms. And finally being next door to each other again, yeah!
You guys are busy little beavers. I would love to be a fly on the wall in Rich's class with no computers! Sounds fun! Where does Kyndra work?
We drove to Swiss Days in Midway today and out of no where Steve says, I miss seeing the Ences everywhere we went; Frys, Target, AZ Mills, Pei Wei... You guys are great!
Oh my goodness, you guys have been put thru the ringer with the start of the new school year! No wonder I had a dream that I came to help you in your classroom and you were REALLY cranky! :) I hope things get better with your classroom, I'm sure it will be REALLY nice to go down to 20 kiddos instead of 28, you poor poor soul.
