 Happy Monday. Yes, it is the first day of school today and I don't know how I feel. I'm not as nervous as I have been in the past years. I guess maybe it's because I've been through it a couple times now and it's nothing new. But I'm very excited and I just keep praying to myself. Be confident, be strict, be kind, like all the things I wanna be. So I'll show you guys what I'm wearing today. I'm just wearing my staff shirt because we're required to wear our staff shirts today so that parents and people that are around campus know who to ask if they have any questions. And then I'm wearing these Chico Pixie Pants from Old Navy and my Black Teaks. And that's all I'm wearing. And I've already gotten started on my breakfast and I have a smoothie that's already made and I've been drinking all morning. But I'm just having a bagel for breakfast and then I also packed banana. So my fruit for the day is a cup of strawberries and a banana. And then I also have for lunch, I have an organic yogurt. I have some carrots with laughing cow cheese. I've got some almonds and I have a Chinese chicken salad from Trader Joe's. It's almost 6.30 now so I'm kind of ahead of schedule. I woke up at 5.45. My alarm went off at 5.15 and I snoozed it until then. But I didn't have to do my hair because my hair was already curled from yesterday so that's kind of a perk. Perhaps I should curl my hair every night and sleep on it. Are you guys gonna miss mama? It's school year time, huh? Come here. Come show me love. Yeah, I know. I'm gonna miss me all day. You've kind of gotten used to it though with all these meetings and stuff and setting up the classroom. Bite up, boy. Bye-bye. Hi guys, I'm at school and I'm just walking around and plugging in and flipping on all the lights. And I just turned my computer on and I put all their attendance buttons on the attendance board. And I'm just reminiscing from first day of school's past and just thinking about things I wanna be intentional about today, things I wanna make sure that I cover. They're all in my lesson plans so I'm gonna go ahead and print those. That way there's no way for me to forget anything because they're printed. So I'm gonna do that really quickly The room is ready. What are you doing in here? I gotta put my non still. I feel like I have a red mustache. What? You're gonna have a red mustache. I got a red mustache. Do you have powder? I do. There are my notes. Oh, I'm gonna use those real quick. I got them. Light beige or maybe I have something here. I think that's mine too. Ganey, we're all matching. They told us we had to wear our shirts today and the only thing that goes with them is black pants. So I think, I literally think we're all wearing the same exact thing. But that's fine. I'm gonna tell people and be like, hey, follow me on Instagram because that's where I'm doing most of my vlogs this year. Yeah, yep. It's lunchtime and I'm already exhausted. I have 37 students and it is crowded in here. It's insane. And I hope you don't care about chewing because I'm gonna eat and talk. So far, the class has been really good. I can already tell who my difficult kiddos are gonna be but that's okay because they're letting themselves loose now. Someone's coming in. Like, what am I gonna do? You should ask the grader. She's commenting on my backpack. I think there's nothing we can do. We're gonna just eat more. Well, and they're all way fuller now than they will be. Yeah. Because they have all their supplies in it still. What have you done so far? Basically nothing. Yeah, me too. I'm gonna have to fit the read aloud. Yeah, I literally did a read aloud. I got there, I don't know. I'll just do it tomorrow. I'll move whatever I was doing tomorrow to the next day. I feel like I need more surfaces for my kids to sit at because they're all on the floor. Yeah. Because they're so many of them. I opened up that white table thing there for standing. Okay, I'll tell her right now. Hey guys, so Jennifer and I are sitting here and we're grading our writing assignments. It was a long day. Let me just tell you, I had 37 kids and I had people in and out of my room all day counting them. So I think that they plan on maybe getting another teacher for the fourth grade. Hopefully, fingers crossed. You were holding it anymore. Yeah, you guys would be the very first ones to get it, I think so. Let's see if this works at night. And then you'll have my size hope. So all of the kids that came from her class, I called Reese's pieces. Oh my belly, this child is kicking a crap out of me. People, Sam today was like, so you pronounce it Reese, I'm like, yes I get it again. And he goes, can I ask why? I'm like, I don't know, my family just says it that way. It is Wednesday and I just wanted to come on and vlog a little bit today. No particular reason, just thought I would vlog a little bit. Yeah, so I just walked in the door. I did go to Starbucks and got a small coffee and some water. Basically, I'm in love with my class. I love every single child. I'm obsessed with them. There are 37 of them and it does not look like the number is changing, going down anyway. But there has been rumor that the district is looking into our numbers and it looks like they might be bringing in a fourth grade teacher. I have not heard that yet, but I've had people in my room both days now counting heads. And so I think that that might be part of their plans is to add another section of fourth grade. The fifth grade numbers are really high too. So I think that they might even consider doing a combo class, which would be smart because then we could get a couple taken from each class and then it would release the burden on us a little bit more. So we have a problem. I took my clips home yesterday to put their names on the clip chart and I totally forgot them on the coffee table, so that sucks. But that's okay, they're gonna forgive me because they know that I'm pregnant and forget stuff, so they'll forgive me. So I just basically, you guys saw everything that I just did. I put up my schedule, turned on my lights. And yesterday I changed the date. So I try to change the date the night before I leave. That way I don't have to remember the morning. But I am working on, I'm checking emails and checking over my plans for the day to make sure I have everything ready, everything copied. And then what I will do is I will start planning for like next week. And I'm pretty planned through the week, but I just need to finalize the plans and make sure everything's ready and copied.
