First day... Kinda

Well, today was our first day of our second year together... And it was--by far-- my best first day ever!  I say this even though our bus transportation had a million changes, our attendance software was down, I forgot to take lunch count, my sciatica is acting up AND MY PROBOARD IS NOT WORKING...AT ALL!  We got right to work!  We did some work on our feature article summer assignments in writing workshop, studied a poem by Stafford in poetry workshop, did an affinity quality tool on defining responsibility in our mission statement, and tackled topic 1-1 in math (standard, word, and expanded form of numbers).  We were so productive and got along beautifully while we were at it!  Several parents have said that their children were more relaxed a out back to school, and I certainly concur.
