The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book

Ella's first day of school in her own words...

first we got to go to our desks and there was no cubbies because it is in our desks. Then we colored. Then we sharpened our pencils. Then we put stuff in baggies. Then I went to circle time. We read to books and one was about a bully. Then we went to eat. that's all.Tyler's first day of school in Tyler's words...

First up we did fire safety stuff then we did music. Then class room inspections. Rules of Recess and Hallway. Then we got our agenda. Then we did DMP (daily math practice). Then AM folder (reading). Then I wrote down stuff that I need. And then we did stuff like we talked about playing inside if there is a rainy day. We talked about what we should be needing and that's it.

First day of school according to mom...

I woke up bright and early at 6:30. I was hounded and asked every 3 minutes for 90 minutes if it was time to go to school. Ella got mad at me because she didn't want me to drive her to school but, I told her that it was too bad I get to take her to school on her first day because it is my right as her mom. Then, when I went to leave her class she didn't want me too. What a crazy twist that was. But, she did good with me eventually leaving. Then I hung out with JoHanna and went to the base to get an ID which they goofed up in my favor so that was awesome!

Then I went and picked up the kids from school and got to listen all about Tyler and Ella's day! I am so excited for them to start school but it makes me sad that I don't have any kids at home with me anymore.
