Blisters? What did they do to you?

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG."

Re: shamwow!
made me purchase comfy shoes to wear to chase them around all day, but since they're brand new they rub in some places, so I guess that defeats the purpose of the comfy shoe. They'll get better once I wear them a few more times. At least the bottoms of my feet were taken care of
Phew, I was worried they took "roast the newbie" literally.
Is your room still looking pretty? Do you like the other teachers?

My room looks pretty good, but it still needs a lot of work. For one thing, I only have one outlet. One. And I have a computer table but no computers, and also no internet outlet. All of that should more or less get solved eventually, but I'm not sure how long it will take. And I need to do some more rearranging of cabinets if I can because I need a bit more space and two of them are blocking the only airflow into my area so it is H-O-T in there by mid-day. But I'm still excited about all my brand new toys and puzzles and games, etc. so I really can't complain too much
I adore my mentor teacher, and everyone else I've met so far has been extremely warm and welcoming. So all in all I'm feeling pretty great!
Yay. Good story!
Seriously though, when do you expect to get more kiddos?
I'll get more kiddos once they've been tested and gone through all the ARD process. They'll start slowly trickling in and then I know they do a ton of shuffling around if kids after Labor Day, so we may get some (or a flood) of them around that time.
This is the calm before the storm so I'm trying to enjoy it and get as much preparation and learning out of the "down" time as I possibly can!
I forgot with the time difference "after work hours" was nothing worth smearing my eyeliner and rending my garments over. Glad you got a good start!

Sorry if you've already told us and I missed it. But how many kids do you have so far? What's the age group?
Oh,and I almost forgot, did you get to play with anything cool yet like moon sand?
Right now we only have 8 total, and we're getting another next week. They're all pre-k, so 3-5 years old. And completely adorable. Even when they're a handful.
I haven't broken out the good stuff yet, but we've done plenty of singing and dancing, and story time, and just generally getting them straight back into their structured routine.
