First Day Jitters

Today was a DREAM... I have sixteen students! If you are aware of what's been going on with class sizes in our district, you know that this is not normal. I am so excited to have such a small class. I sure hope it lasts!

I have nine girls and seven boys. They seemed really happy to meet me and see the classroom. I have never seen a class adjust so fast, maybe it's sheer numbers. But by the end of the day everyone was just so in sync, I was able to teach a math review lesson for the NECAP tests. We made back to school fortune tellers (cootie catchers), and of course read First Day Jitters.

I hope tomorrow is as great as today was. I am feeling a little guilty because my colleagues are swamped with enormous class sizes, up to thirty-two kids. There's a possibility we could get a slew of new students from a neighboring over crowded school. We'll see what tomorrow brings, but today was definitely a 10.
