I Survived!!!!

Well, I have officially survived the first day of school!!!! It's not 3:00 and the kids haven't gone home yet but my day is "complete." We had our advisory kids in our classroom from 7:30 (yes, that is when school starts.....) until 10:15, at which point we took them to the auditorium for a welcome assembly. After the assembly we had lunch and then the kids had recess. Yes, recess in the middle school!! Then I had a fourth period class which met for 70 minutes, from 12:35-1:45 and then I dismissed the kids and I was free for the rest of the day!!! My first class went really well and I love my advisory kids as well. I will have to wait until I get home to the hotel where my computer is in order to upload pictures. I didn't take a ton but I snapped a few because I know my mom will be dying to see them! The kids are so cute and so nice and I am really excited to get to know them better and to improve on my Spanish as they do use a lot of Spanish around! I am super excited because even though I see two classes first thing in the morning tomorrow, I will be doing the exact thing with them that I did with my math class today so I don't feel a lot of pressure or stress about that! My copies are all already made and I feel pretty set to go! Also tomorrow I have two classes first thing in the morning but then I am done by 10:30 for the day!!! Pretty awesome!! I love middle school! Anyway, I am going to do some organizing so I can head home at a decent time tonight and get some other things done, like buying my bed and maybe even going shopping for some other household goods!
