Yesterday was Ethan's very first 'first day of school.' We had been talking about it all week, and he was so excited to get his lunchbox and his backpack, drop Rachel off at Nana's and go to Mrs. Shawn's class at school. Ethan said he liked Stretch-N-Grow the best (probably because Sophia was in there with him), ate all of his lunch by himself, and that he didn't pee-pee in the potty because he doesn't like the potty at school. It's going to be a long year. 
Subsequently, it was my first day at school as well. I'm teaching one of the pre-K classes at Ethan's school, and the 7 boys and 2 girls entrusted to me for 4 hours every Tuesday and Thursday seemed to think I was okay (apparently I made some hilarious faces while singing about the babies on the bus so I scored major points for that). I also gave them a snack at 10:30, and then found out at 11:30 that pre-K classes don't really get snacks. Oops. I was also working in my room at 8:45 and realized all of the other classroom doors were closed. Of course I peeked in several to find them empty and then found my way to the teacher's meeting and devo time. I think I made a really good impression by being late to the very first one. But as far as I know I'm still needed back there on Tuesday.
I would love to be a fly on the wall while you are singing to your class!! If the faces are like anything I've seen...I bet they love you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a big boy! I can't even believe it...
ReplyDeleteWill be praying for your with seven boys in there! They're just SO active, aren't they? Isaac started Sunshine School (just once a week) at Prestoncrest last week and liked it - I was really paranoid about the food issues so I stayed around the church for a while then got caught on my way out by a teacher who needed to leave so I subbed the rest of the day!
