Staying Afloat

So, I just completed my first week of summer school and I am thrilled beyond belief. LOL I have held out on using a bit of liquid to take the edge off but will open up the vino as soon as Deja heads out the front door to a friend's house for the night.

I think we finally came up with a good system that allowed us to actually breath during class. The kids are starting to adjust to our new faces and the new schedule. We have students who come from various campus' in the district so they are not all familiar with our lovely faces. I have only one student from previous summers and one from my home campus. The other babies are brand new.

One of my dear and childhood friends is one of my assistants, Rosa. She is wonderful and such a blessing in the classroom. She is destined to teach. God only knows...she is a mother of 4 great boys. My other assistant is good and very helpful. I am just not sure how to read her and I am sure she feels the same about me. You see...I am quite goofy with my class. I also have a serious issue with animal noises and I don't quite think she understands me. LOL Who does for that matter! She doesn't always answer Rosa and I when we initiate conversation and she rarely smiles and laughs. You gotta laugh! That is a must in my classroom and it is the best medicine!

Now it is Thursday evening and I am childess and about to hang low. OK...I might step out to get a brewski with my crazy friend Mel.
