School Starting...

School started last week and I couldn't wait for it to start. My summer was very relaxing, but I was starting to get bored and I think the kids were also. I am really excited about our new schedule and some of the new classes (new curriculum) I am teaching this year to the elementary. The kids are taking a little time to get used to the new schedule and getting used to being in one spot for a couple hours at a time. I have to keep reminding myself that, when I am getting frustrated with them.  We did take the whole summer off... so I can't expect them to just be ready to sit here and WANT to learn.  They have been doing GREAT and I do appreciate them trying their hardest on concentrating during class time.  I know they are thinking about the pool just outside our classroom window, I know that is torture to a kid and with it only being up for 2 weeks now... it's so new.  Just might have to let them in it today...
