Monster RULES...

I really hate to jinx myself, but I am having such a wonderful time in the world of Kindergarten. I love my little rug rats! By no means are they perfect angels, but they are so different from my first grade experience. So far it's been lots of hugs and I LUV you Ms. Flusser. I am hoping since I got to them early I will be able to mold them to my liking... Monster RULES are a project we worked on the first two days. My class came up on their own with Red Rocket, Blue Bell, Yellow YoYo, Green Grass and Purple Pete. How cute is that? Together we came up with the rules ;) Now the question is, will they work? I believe I have 183 days left to find out, but who is counting??

You Know You Are In Texas When...

Oh my goodness! I was driving back to school after a staff development meeting and this is what was in front of me. At first I had no clue what was hanging and swinging under the truck in front of me. Once it stopped swinging, I was able to figure it out. Can I just ask, What's the point??? Do they think they are cool or something? To me it says REDNECK!!!

The Calm Before the Storm...

Purple squares, purple squares, walk on the purple squares, zip your lip, inside voices, raise your hand, I have lost count on how many times I have said that within the past 2 days. It's official, I am a kindergarten teacher to 21 students. This is a picture of the calm before the storm. Thursday was the first day. Besides the fact it was a long day, I was smiling when I left. My kids were sweet and it's so fun to hear them call me Ms. Flusser. Ok, so half of them say Ms. Flusher... but I am working on it. Today was day 2. The day was even longer, but I still left smiling. I did not realize that a 2 day work week could feel like a 5 day work week. I have planning to do this weekend as well as prep work and organizing for my classroom. Here is to my new career! It's been long in coming! Let's just hope it goes up hill from here on out...
