Month of Gratitude Begins

Chaos ensues as the fall school year begins, and I find myself reflecting on the first quarter done... and noticing that this blog was put on the backburner.  But now, as November begins, I can begin the month of reflective gratitude in my online journal.

Day one will begin with me looking back on the first quarter of school.  It's been a whirlwind - but with a great group of kids this year.  They're young, but friendly.  And thank me, even for their write-up slip or poor test grade.  And several wish me a good afternoon... (which I have been wishing them for YEARS and am TICKLED that kids are finally returning the gesture!)  We have tons of curriculum to complete, and a long way to go, but it's off to a great start!  Upcoming this month Parent Conferences, the first report cards, Veteran's Day, our Washington, DC trip, and hefty curricular topics.  Bring it on!

As for the family, we have a fairly chaotic first week, beginning with a trip to NY tomorrow to partake in a cyclocross, and Parent Conferences Monday and Tuesday.  But my grades are complete and entered (the earliest... EVER!) and the alarm is set (for a VERY EARLY wake up call, despite daylight savings time!).  We'll hit the ground running and have a chaotic, and productive, day!

Until next time!
