back to miss toyama

once again..its been a while & summer has long been over for me.
  •  taught @ maryknoll which ended on a friday
  • kanoelani's apple institute started monday
  • administrative day tuesday
  • teacher work day wednesday & got my newly rennovated classroom back, which led to me dragging my bff to school & getting a full body workout, including dust, bugs, sweat & construction guys singing all day haha. then open house w/o a classroom, woohoo!
  • furlough thursday..also dragging my bff back to school w/me to unpack more, then rushed off to ke kani o ke kai which was a blast!
  • furlough friday..dragging my sister to school, spending all day until 7:30 unpacking
  • saturday- tried to get the bf to go to school w/me. ended up going late. alarm was going off, neighbors complaining...did nothing & left school
  • sunday- went to school, did more unpacking & prep for the first day. went back home, dragged the bf, mom, dad & 2 cousins to work until 9 @ night.
  • monday- first day of school as a fourth grade teacher in my own classroom :)

its definitely been a crazy summer & now that the first week of school is almost over..i can honestly say that this is going to be one crazy 4th grade class & i'm sooooooo NOT ready for it but i am fully submerged in the P-4 Ohana mentality already :)

on the bright side..i got beautiful flowers for my desk from one of my students & he takes care of them, checking them everyday!  also got me a fish tank with some cute guppies, hopefully i finally remember to take them some fish food.
