Well today was our first day back. I have 21 first graders this year (so far). Our day started off with putting ALL of our supplies away. That took about 30 minutes at least. LOL Then I go to turn on my smart board projector and it doesn't turn on!!!!!! YIKES!!! What am I going to do?? I decide panicking is not the answer and we go ahead and put the labels on our workbooks and then I got the kiddos coloring and decorating their name tags while I check all the cables for the computer. I did find one that one cable was not plugged in but that didn't solve the problem. So, I panicked a little more and decided that I couldn't do anything with it until recess. By the time they got done coloring their name tags it was recess time. They go outside. Thank God i'm not on recess duty. I go back to my room and climb on the desks and jiggle all the cords and make sure they are tight. I unplugged the cord and plugged it back on. To my delight, it came on. I guess it was loose. WHOO!!!! So we did a little more with the smart board. We played "How well do you know Mrs. Emery?" game and then I read First Day Jitters. We had "Jitter Juice" to get rid of all our jitters of the first day. Then it was already lunch time. After lunch we read another book and went over the rules of school and class. It doesn't seem like much but it took the whole day.
I survived and so did the kids. It's very hard to get back into the groove of things. We also got a new math series. My Math. Anyone use it? It seems really cool and all of it is online. I'm very excited to dive into it and see all of the different activities it can do.
Well I guess I'd better get ready for bed so I can be revived for tomorrow.
