Summer was a Vacuum

My dad always quoted someone (dad, if you're reading tell me who this is!) as saying the only way to get things done is to take on more things. to do. Well my summer was the inverse of this: I had nothing to do and therefore I did nothing. Including updating this blog.

But now I'm back in school with a new-school-year-resolution to write for my blogs often. I started school last Monday with 22 little tiny first graders. They are so unbelievable cute and YOUNG. I forgot how much the kids change over the course of first grade. I see my old first graders (now second graders) in the hall and they look gargantuan. It's unfortunate because whenever I see my old kids I turn into a little old grandma, overwhelming them with comments such as, "My my, you're so big now."

I have 22 kids right now despite the limit on K-3 classes being 20. That means that soon I will lose two of my kids to another class :-(. It will be nice to have some extra room in the classroom but it will be traumatizing for all parties involved to have to say goodbye to two of my kids... We shall see...
