Check in

Hey everyone!  I experienced no problems from the storm - thankfully!  My sister is without power in Pennsylvania, but everyone else who I have spoken to of my family/friends is doing well.  My district was closed yesterday, but we were back today.  Initially I was disappointed about the fact that I had to go in, but I know in June I will be thankful!

I have 2 new students since last week, which brings my total number of students up to 13.  Tomorrow I am meeting with a group of people to talk about the possibility of some of the girls starting public school - fingers crossed!!  I was thinking back the other day to my interview for this position and remember the number 3 or 4 being discussed as the "average class size" I would have. HA! 

No Kool-Aid this week, but I did have my fingers crushed as I tried to save an MP3 player from getting stomped on.  My newest student decided that 'if she wasn't going to have the MP3 player, then nobody was going to have it.' I decided she was wrong!  I grabbed the player just in time, but my fingers did get stepped on in the event. It didn't hurt that much, but I made a big deal out of getting ice and walking around with an ice pack for the next 20 minutes.  I guess I was trying to appeal to her softer side, (which I still assume might be there) but it did make me feel better!  I realize I shouldn't have thrown my hand under her descending foot, but there was an MP3 player to be saved!  Eventually she apologized and tomorrow is a new day - and hopefully a better one!

I hope that everyone had as much luck as I did with the storm and that you all are safe and well.  See you in a few weeks!
