A big CHECK off the list of firsts.

I made it. My first field trip has come and gone and I am here to tell you about it. While I may be being a little dramatic, I did make it through my first field trip with no more than a splinter. That's a good feeling. The first year "firsts" are slowly being checked off my list.

This week I checked off my list:
--Successfully completed Parent/Teacher Conferences with minimal tear shed.
--Went on my first field trip as a teacher.


I would say that is a productive week!



Obviously I cannot check off my list: Got all kids to look at camera and smile.

Baby steps.

I am also learning how much my students love to hunt. With this realization I am learning how little I know about hunting. Little being none. I know zip. BUT I can listen and smile and nod with the best of them.

Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks. Right now I am feeling good. I feel rested and still haven't reached a point where I have felt completely overwhelmed. I don't think I will get there. I am confident in the Lord and Him leading me here, and comforting me while I am here. Plus, I have my lesson plans done for the next 2 weeks so I am happy.

Here's to bonfires and cooler weather--Fall is here!
