First week back to school….

Well despite my wishing and hoping that our Christmas break would not end it did!!!  I went back to school on Monday.  Usually the first day back after the break is a teacher work-day.   Not this week, it was straight back into it with the kids!!!  

Here are a few things I’ve decided this week:

1. I need roller skates!!!   Although I would be running a higher risk of bodily injury it would help me get all the places I run all day quicker!!!  Maybe with more ease or maybe with more laughs!!!  I am ALL OVER the school!!! I go help one kid in this room, then another kid in that room, oh got to go check on that kid over there, and back to this one here, then it’s off the another class and so on and so forth!!!!  That’s my day!!!  And hopefully we get through with out anyone having a meltdown including me!!! LOL  

2.  Teachers should be allowed to hand out medicine!!!  I say this laughing, obviously sarcastically!!!  But trust me as a special ed teacher there are times when I really wish I had this privilege.  Especially this week when one of my students ran out of his meds!!!  Luckily I got my hair colored last Friday or else you’d be seeing all my grey!!!  

3.  Humor is Essential!!!  So yesterday I burned popcorn and stunk up half the school!!! Who knew two minutes was enough, I tried four minutes, found out that’s too long!!!  Every teacher and student on my half of the school knew within an hour that “Mrs. Ramsey burnt the popcorn!!!”  It wasn’t even for me, I obviously don’t pop popcorn often!!! I came back to my room to find a 3 foot doll dressed up in the fire chief’s dress up clothes!!!  Oh the laughs I have with my co-workers!!!

4.  I really do love my job!!!  Although I was crying like a kid the night before having to go back cause I didn’t want to go back to school!! I really do love what I do!!!  I do love the kids although they have there moments!! I love the people I get to work with!!!  And I really do love teaching!!!
