Who knew that wrangling 20 Kindergarten kids all day long would wear someone out so quickly? I think I probably say this every year and even question sometime why I teach 5 year olds because this is hard work! I fell asleep Monday night with my glasses on and a book in my hand and that was at 9:00! I remember thinking I better stop reading so I can watch RHONJ and the next thing I knew, I was waking up to Maggie jumping on the bed around 11:30. I know it's going to take some time getting back into the swing of things but wow!
School has been going as well as can be expected for the first couple days. We are SLOWLY learning how to walk in a line, how to line up, how to stay in our seat, how to raise our hand when we need something and that the teacher's name is not teacher! I predict in about 2 weeks, I will have almost forgotten what the training process feels like and then I can repeat this same blog post again next year! Ha! Let's hope it takes less than 2 weeks to get everything in place though!

You read my mind!!!! HA!! My name is Jessie and I am also a kindergarten teacher. We are on our third week and slowly but surely we are learning the procedures. :0) I always forget how hard it is at the beginning of the year. Those sweet little babies are just so little when they first walk in the door.
I found your blog from "This Girls Life". We seem to have a lot in common. My husband and I have been TTC for about 2 years. I look forward to following your journey. Thanks for sharing. ;0)
So glad you had a great first week. I hear ya on the going to bed at 9:00...I crashed every single night last week as SOON as my head hit the pillow. Being an educator is definitely hard work!!!
