First Day Jitters!
Whew! The first day has (finally!) come and gone. Overall, it was a pretty successful day. Of course, I had about 10 minutes to get them in, at desks, take attendance and lunch count BEFORE we were to be at gym at 8:30. Yes, current and former Muesselites, I've got our specials schedule from the last several years. No problem except our lunch isn't until 12:20. 12:20?! Holy moly! I have this group from 9:05-12:20. Hmm... did I make enough plans? Luckily I did (barely!) but here are some snippets heard in room 209 - At 10:00, "Mrs. Strunk, when is lunch?" "I'm hungry." At 10:30, "My stomach is making sounds." At 11:00, "How far away is 12:20?" At 11:05, "Mrs. Strunk, you got any snacks?" At 12:00, "Only 20 more minutes, Mrs. Strunk, then we can feast!!" Needless to say, we did take lots of drink breaks to fill up their empty tummies. (And mine!) Meijer brand cereal to the rescue! I am taking some in tomorrow and giving them a scoop mid-morning. I admit it - I scarfed my lunch down!!

LOOOOONNNGGG morning! On Tuesday and Thursday my special is in the afternoon, so I have my kids from 8:15 to 11:45 without a break. On Thursday I almost took them to lunch at 10:45, because I looked at the clock wrong and it just FELT like it should be lunch time already!
Favorite story from Open House: I'm talking to this kid's mom when kid comes in the room and announces that his little brother "made me shut him in my locker." Mom doesn't even blink, just says, "Well, at least we know where he is" and she kept on talking. I LIKE this mom! :)
