Just Playing

Today was such a wonderful day.
My students are such very nice little people.
If I had to describe our day in two words,
I'd say it was,
"busy"

and
"happy"!
We sang the chorus of our Grandparents' Day song for our principal
and our new afternoon Kindergarten teacher.
We even did the "dance"...
and yup...
it was all caught on tape...
And
"no"...
I don't have a great deal of dancing talent!
It didn't matter,
we had a wonderful time showing off anyway.
We painted "Friendly Fish"
to display in our Gallery.
Watch out Columbus Museum of Art,
we have free admission every weekday!
You just have to know one of our fine artists.
My smart,
endearing kiddos
even differentiated between uppercase and lowercase letters
on an alphabet sheet.
We took the time to meet our pets...
(Some even snuck their hands in the cages when the teacher wasn't looking!)
and ended our day by playing with puppets!
Through it all,
we also are becoming a group.
My dear ones are learning the expectations
and enjoying the privileges that come from good listening.
I sincerely can't wait until all of our class is together on Monday!

amazing gadgets and gizmos...


Today after downloading some software from the Internet
and trying all manner of crazy computer nonsense,
I finally am able to take pictures with my phone
and transfer them directly to my computer.

My little brother and I worked for quite a while
figuring out the snafu's
that were holding up the process.

This new discovery couldn't have come at a better time as Transition Week started today at school and I took pictures of my children to post to my classroom blog. My regular digital camera has been "loved" a bit too much and is trying to die.

I would have been extremely inconvenienced if it were to stop working and I didn't have another way to document the adventures of my new students.

Today's meeting...
our two hours together...
Left me with a smile and a sigh...
I am going to really enjoy getting to know my new little people.

What fun to teach them...
guide them...
explore the world anew through their eyes.

I wish you could have been there,
as they questioned me,
told me stories...
collected stickers...
started to become mine.

Sigh...

May you and I have strength
for the tasks set before us
and may we rise to the the occasions
that we are fortunate to meet.

Now and always,
may you be blessed!
