Today was such a busy, busy day! Orientation was tonight, and there was so much to do to get ready before all the parents and students arrive. We have been working all last week to get things prepared, and today was our last day to get everything done!

I found out I had a new student early this morning, so part of my day was spent preparing everything needed for her! Welcome to our class, Alexandria! I also needed to finish up my lesson plans and stuff my envelopes with all the information our class needs to get a good start on the year.

Miss Whitfield is going to be a student teacher in Mrs. Stanley's room, and she worked most of the day on getting some English files set up for all three of the fifth grade teachers. One thing that teachers work on during the summer and our in-service week is making copies and filing the things our students will be using during the year. I had copied all the English worksheets for all three classes for the year, so Miss Whitfield tackled the project of dividing the sheets among the three teachers and setting up folders for them all!


You didn't know teachers had so much to do before school even started did you??

We had an Elementary meeting this morning in A-wing with all the elementary teachers. Mrs. Grams talked a little with us about what the order of events was for Orientation night, and where we should sit and what we should do. It was one last meeting for any of the teachers to ask any questions and talk together before the 2008 school year starts!


Lunch was chicken nuggets and fries! I love the lunches at NCA. It is so nice to have such delicious and nutritious meals available for us every day! The lunchroom is a lot quieter with just teachers eating! I'm sure it will be MUCH noisier on Wednesday!

I had a lot to do today, and although I didn't get everything done that I wanted to, I was able to make it work! I had a good time meeting all my students and parents and getting a fun start to this school year!

I can't wait until Wednesday!
