Ahhhhh it's that dreaded time of year again...at least if you're a teacher.....it's time to start going back into school to prepare your classroom for you new group of kiddo's.
I have decided not to go in until Monday, however, Travis convinced me to go with him on Thursday night and at least get the background paper up on our hallway bulletin boards. If you are not a teacher understand that this is a time consuming effort of getting the paper measured out just right, getting it lined up with out creases in the paper, getting it stapled in a straight line and with no air bubbles. You then get to use an exacto knife and trim the edges.
Anyway, after we had taken care of my two bulletin boards we went to Nielson to tackle Travis'. When we finished we went home. That is not a normal teacher behavior....normally we would have found a jillion things to keep us there at school and just start diving into a bunch of different projects. Travis said we were just "testing the water" :)
So here is the saddest part of this entry. On Thursday night I had a horrible, horrible thing happen. Something that doesn't happen this early....something that doesn't usually happen until I get a class list......I DREAMT about SCHOOL!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I know it is shocking! :)
I didn't dream about kids though...I dreamt about how I could best utilize the $200.00 the district gives you to spend on your classroom for the entire year. Should I spend it all now...save a portion...what should I buy....I literally had receipts floating through my dream!
Well, I guess this is just a prelude to what is to come for us in the upcoming weeks.
Travis did go into school yesterday for about 8 hours. I held strong though...no school for me until Monday....I took the time and the beautiful day and went to the river with my mom and dad! It was beautiful...smooth as glass and hardly anyone out since it was still the work week.
Monday morning will come soon enough for me! We'll keep you posted! :)
