Yay, for day one!

Well, we survived the first day of school. It was nice getting to drive to school with Michael, although I didn't see him all day since primary grades and intermediate grades are segregated completely. We were so tired when we got home that we subsequently crashed for a three hour nap! That should mess with our sleeping schedule nicely!
Overall, today went well. It was choked full of beating rules and regulations into their little heads. We literally practiced walking to and from recess multiple times. They loved that! Did I mention it was hot? I told them, "If you don't like doing this, you could always just do it perfect and go right into our nice air-conditioned classroom?" Guess what? The next time was perfect!
In honor of my deep hatred for yard duty, I of course had it today. This school does yard duty differently than any other school I have been to. Usually, you just do one recess (i.e. all morning or all afternoon, etc.) all week long. At this school, each week you do all the recesses for one day. My day as it turns out is Tuesday. Uggh, it was brutal! First day of school, uncomfortable shoes, hot, needing/wanting a break, and forgot my sunglasses in the classroom during afternoon recess. Oh, and I was wearing a black top while monitoring the black top!
Well, I better at least go try and get some more sleep. Today they were subdued, but I expect their full personalities to start coming out soon enough...may as well be well rested for it.
