Today has started off as a smokey day. The fire in Yosemite is blowing smoke and ash our way, and hopefully the upslope winds will clear the air come recess time.
Suddenly, I remember why Fridays were so anticipated. During the summer we take them for granted! It's always nice opening the school year on a Wednesday, as it gives students and teachers (and administrators!) a few days to get started, and lets us build our endurance!
The school year has really gotten off to a smooth start. Special thanks go to Kathy Cross for making sure all of our students were properly assigned on a class list. We are currently at 289 students, and they have all settled into their classrooms without too many tears (from students or teachers?).
My goal for myself is to try to know every student's name by Christmas. So far I'm up to about 5 that stick in my memory bank. I have some work to do! I'm off to walk the classrooms, and try to learn a few more names.
