With school starting in 5 days things are crazy! I got back from Alabama Monday (I will post more about that later) and ever since then I have been running around crazy. I think I have my room set up, so now I am working on curriculum for the first week. I know basically what I want to do, but I am trying to have everything planned out super well. One thing I am struggling with is what I should do to the first day. I am doing get to know you activities, and am going to tell them about the school rules and what not, but that won't take up the whole day. I have never had a class that just came back from summer break, so I am not sure exactly what to expect. One good thing is that my class size is now 23. It was 25, but then two kids moved or something. I would be so happy if I stayed with this size, it is perfect, not too big.
One thing that I keep thinking about is last year and how terrible my kids were. I am scared that they are going to be the same. I know they won't, because there were so many things last year that were out of my control, but still I am nervous. I have been made aware that one of my kids is ADHD, but if there is only one, I can handle that. I just hope that this year goes better.

What I did with my older students was a newspaper about themselves. It was poster sized (I ordered it in a catalog), and they would write their own "Gazette" highlighting things about themselves. I then laminated it and had it up for open house. I know it sounds cheezy, but it was fun I think.
