First day

Today is the first day of school with kids. I am kind of nervous because I am not nervous. I know that makes no sense, but even though I have only had about two weeks to get ready, I am pretty comfortable where I stand right now. There were teachers, veteran teachers who were leaving yesterday with no clue as to what they were going to do today. Ones with their rooms in no shape to start also. My room is ready I have a ton of things to do; I am set.

Mrs. Brown the Assistant Principal came in yesterday and was looking at the kids in my class. I have 20. Nice amount, but she said she knows that two of them do not live here anymore. 18 kids I can handle that. Of course those kids may have come back and of course I will be the first to get any new ones that come in, but if I only have 18 kids today that would be awesome.
