School makes me tired!


We are well into our 3rd week of school at Ebenezer Academy. All is going well, I'm starting to work through the adjustment of having new kids in the class. I have my preschool class in the mornings from 8:20-12:00 just like last year. I currently have 3 students, Jennifer (4,) Cristian (3,) and Marlon (3.) They are a delight. In the afternoons I have an assortment of class, P.E., home ec., English as a second language, and reading time with the kindergarten. Today my last class was reading, after which I had a planning time. As I was reading today one of my students got droopy eyed and fell asleep. He leaned his head on my shoulder and took a little nap. As time went on I started to feel a little sleepy too. I stayed past time to read, while the kindergarten teacher was working with a student one on one. Enmanuel started looking at books and I got cozy with Junior curled up next to me. Before I knew it I had dozed off. Apparently, the other teachers were laughing at me, and took a picture. I woke up to Junior poking me asking why I didn't read to him. I explained that he had slept through the stories...he didn't believe me and wanted me to read to him. I didn't get much planning done this afternoon, but I read some pretty awesome books and got a little nap time.

Jessi!!! I finally learned how to post a comment on your blog page. (: hehe I know..I'm a little slow w/ technology I guess. Anyways...want you to know that I was soooo bummed to miss your phone call. I actually cried. (: awww... Brian & I are currently planning our trip to Honduras in January. (: yay!! We really are saving money to come. Brian won't let me go alone, so I guess he'll have to tag along. I love you & miss you lots! I'm back in school, so the best day to call if you can is Fridays.
