1 Down and 179 More To Go
Whew! We survived the first day of school. Actually, it was my first year in 15 years not being in the classroom. It was kinda sad – but I sure didn’t miss all the butterflies! From what I saw, both East Lee and West Lee opened very smoothly. At the end of the day, the kids were still smiling and the teachers had a look of exhaustion. Boy oh boy, do I remember that feeling. I really do miss all the excitement.
I spent the greater part of the day organizing my classroom office. I say that because I actually have an extra classroom to use as an office. Wow! A lot of room to spread out all my important “stuff”. I would love to have a few computers so that I could have a mini computer lab, but alas, not this year. Maybe I’ll put that on my Christmas wish list.
On the bright side, my calendar is filling quickly. The wikis have taken off this year. I’m so excited! I’ve had several teachers ask me to show them since they have heard such good comments from other teachers. So, that fire did spread like, well, wildfire. The teachers all have different ideas of how they are using their wikis and I think that’s great! Not all want to use as a student work display and not all want to use as a homework webpage. I’m happy they are using them. Just think, this time last year, no one in our district was even using wikis. Now, almost all the schools are using them. Yippee!!
My neocounter isn’t working and I can’t see who has visited. If you have suggestions on what might be wrong, please let me know. Being the noisy sort, I enjoy seeing how many countries have visited.
Until next time ~ Danita
