One Week Down...Whew!

Longest.week.ever! Good first week back at school, but oh my...a long one! I have 17 sweet kinder babies in my classroom...they will make me laugh and they will make me cry this year. I miss my big first graders like CrAzY, but I'm excited to make the connections with this new group of kids too. After 5 days with my new kiddos, I have a scratchy throat, tired feet, and a drained body. I have explained how to get in line 500 times, tied a lot of shoes, dried several tears, but have found something to laugh about each day too.

Apparantly, I have referred to my students as "Mrs. Libick's class" a bit too much this week, as one of my kids thinks my name actually is Mrs. "Libicks." :) We've also had a little boy tie his hands in handcuffs from the plastic bag his cookie came in from the lunch line, and his teacher had to literally use scissors to cut it off. Many a student have trouble pronouncing many words, and you can't help by smile inside at their vocabulary.

Here is a picture of my outside bulletin board and the beautiful flowers from my fabulous hubby and sister for my first day of school! :) Here's to a great year...
