Still alive...

just really tired and really busy. I will call peeps this weekend and let you know how everything is going, until then Ms. Carbajal is trying to rest her voice at night. The short version of how everything goes a little something like this:
My school is pretty awesome at this point. My kids are decently behaved and the ones who need help are on the path to receiving it. I have so many prep periods I don't know what to do with myself...well, I actually I do, I have been cleaning and organizing and cleaning and cleaning. I have never seen so many cobwebs and spiders in one class room. Blech and double eww! Anyhoo, as for the prep periods, on Tuesday I send my kids to science, then to P.E., and then to recess!!! That is almost two full hours WITHOUT my kids. How crazy is that?! It is also pretty flipping cool. The staff is very helpful and the parents are clamoring to help in the classroom. I am still trying to get rid of all the random furniture people have dumped in my room and I keep finding curriculum from other grades every time I open a new drawer or box but overall it is coming along nicely. At one point today I actually looked around and felt like it is starting to feel like mine. There is still a lot to do but I am already logging about 9 hours a day at school and a couple more at home planning for the next day, so if a bulletin board or two doesn't get put up...oh well. Going to go replenish the soul with some chocolate now and plan for tomorrow. Happy Friday!!! I'll leave you with lyrics to "The Friday Song":
