Blogging

So, there's so much I don't know about this...like how do you post your friends' blog sites? I thought I did it but then it didn't work. Maybe Kristen will help me this weekend...yes when I get to see her in a VERY short while! I also think it's fun to play with the back grounds. How do you choose your own lovely background on the top? Sometimes I feel computer savvy but not so much with this whole blogging thing. Anyway, I think I just wanted to post something on this new background. I think I like it better. I heard some exciting news today...my class size is going down from 34 to 30!! I seriously couldn't wipe the smile off my face when she said that! This first week of school has been a rough one. A) they don't know what they're doing, b) the majority don't speak English, c) they don't know what they're doing, d) I have a handful of FOUR year olds, e) did I mention they don't know what they're doing? Seriously, I have a few that don't even respond to their names! YIKES! It's going to be an interesting year but it can only get better from here! I just can't wait until they actually know what's going on and actually "stop and freeze" when I ring the bell. I had another teacher tell me today that she and another teacher were watching me try and get them to do that after recess the other day and they were totally laughing at the lack of response from my children as I'm trying to get them to "stop and freeze!" Sometimes, I like to compare Kindergarten to prison. They have their playtime, we ring a bell, they freeze, they come in and that's their life. I was watching one of those lock down shows on Discovery and totally thought that! We have the fence and everything! OK...that's enough for now! Lets just hope none of my students' parents ever see my blog!
