Life is good…

I spent my Sunday on a boat. Did you?

PS- Did I mention that I love my co?

First Week

4 school days down, 182 to go…

I know it’s only been 1 week, and my school still sucks, but this year looks to be much better than the last.  For starters, my co-teacher is great.  She’s 20 years my senior (actually graduated from the same high school as me in Westchester, NY - a v. small school), total mom figure, but totally quirky in similar ways to myself.  She’s been teaching for 7 years, is great with the kids, and loves to cook.  She even brought me brownies yesterday.  Oh, plus she hates my co from last year almost as much as I do.  Huzzah!

Next, second graders are great.  They are funny and you can do so much more with them.  Of course, my school treats an inclusion classroom as a full-on special education setting, so all the kids in my room are problem children.  But they are not mean kids, and I think this will be a good year.  So long as they don’t stick any more children in my classroom, it’s tiny!

Lastly, this year will be good because I have friends at school!  It’s nice to be back at the same school, despite all the problems, because I know everyone.  It’s a more comfortable environment this year and I don’t have to start all over.  So things are good :)  Even though I already have my first cold of the school year!

Back to school, back to school…

…to prove to daddy that I’m not a fool!

Oh it’s back to school time.  I’m Ms. B again and not so happy about it.  But this year already looks to be better than the last.  I’m teaching second grade, my co-teacher is on top of her shit, and my class is (knock on wood) smaller!

I know I’ve been a terrible blogger lately, but I’ll get back in order soon.   Thanks to those who are still reading my jibber-jabber, I appreciate it
