Day one is in the record books! And what a relief it is to get through all the rules and the hotness. Hopefully, cooler days are on their way.
Following in David Letterman's steps we made top ten lists today on why it is great to be back to school. Students shared their lists and some were quite creative and clever! I didn't share this today ...slipped my mind but here is mine.
10) Moon has to help me with house chores more now since I'm not home all day!
9) I have a shorter drive to work than I use to.
8) School is less than 2 minutes from WalMart
7) The community is very supportive and
6) Celina is super techy...Freshmen get Net books!
5) Some of my classes are reading
The Hunger Games
4) I get to teach freshman for the first time (I've always had 10th-11th grade)
3) I have 4th period plan (the longest period of the day)
2) I have an awesome staff to work with .
1)All the new students I get to meet and get to know!
This is my first year at Celina HS. I previously taught at Greenville HS for three year. And let me say this--I am so pumped to be teaching here. The staff has been so welcoming-- I hope everyone realizes what great teachers they have here! The students seem motivated and very school spirited and I cannot wait to get to know all of them.
HOMEWORK:Remember tomorrow (August 25) you need to turn in the parent form and student questionnaire. By Monday you will need an independent reading novel of your choice, 175 pages or more.
Have a fantabulous evening!!
