Back to School

Teachers returned to our school on Tuesday.  It's been a busy week so far, to be sure.  Lots of work to be done, getting the classroom in order and ready for students.  I organized 11 Stamp Game sets yesterday, sorting the Stamps according to shade of color, size of font, "feel" of Stamp...  All the Stamps had gotten jumbled up over the summer, and it just bothered me that they weren't properly sorted.  Perhaps the sense of order for that type of thing isn't really present for 6-9-year-olds, but it is definitely present for this 30-year-old!

Dividing, with the Stamp Game

Today, I had First Aid/CPR training all day.  While it was long and intense, I found it extremely informative.  While I (obviously) hope I never have to use the skills I learned today, I feel fairly confident that I could put them into action, should the need arise.
