A few pictures

Here are a few pictures of my classroom!

First the before....










Yikes! Disaster area! I didn't even know where to begin. I think I spent a few hours just staring at it all.


And then after...



Aren't the kids cute in their little uniforms?

Anyway, there's definitely more order to the space now. It is a little crowded, but I rearranged some furniture yesterday and we'll see how that goes. Tomorrow night is Back-to-School Night. I'm kind of nervous to talk to all the parents, but they've all been pretty nice to me so far, so I hope they don't ask too many hard questions.

It's been a nice Sunday. I went to another loooooong church service today. I don't know where I'll end up going. I haven't loved any of the 4 churches I've been to so far. But I have enjoyed going to church again after not really going over the summer or much my senior year because of working in the nursery and children's church.

But now it's bedtime already. Ugh...I don't really like this whole going to bed before 10 thing. But it's necessary if I want to start the day with some level of sanity!

Am I watching a comedy show?

Another week of school has come and gone, full of strange happenings. For one: one boy in my class often throws up after lunch. I'm not sure if he just eats too fast or what, but it happens about once or twice a week. On Tuesday (I think. The days all kind of blur together in my brain.) my class was especially hyper in the cafeteria, and I moved boy-who-throws-up to a table by himself so he could calm down a little. Well, while he was there, he threw up. Luckily, no one was sitting around him. So I went into the kitchen to get things to clean it up. While I was in there, another boy laughed at him for throwing up. Now, this boy laughs at everything, but unfortunately, boy-who-throws-up is also extremely extremely sensitive and gets angry at the drop of a hat. (Did I mention I hate cleaning up vomit???) So I come out of the kitchen with my bleach and my paper towels, and kid-who-throws-up has kid-who-laughs in a headlock and is punching him in the stomach. I hustle over to them to ...

Last Day of School

Well, today was the last day of school. Dismissal was at 11:30 today, and my last student left just about 45 minutes ago. It definitely hasn't sunk in yet, but I'm sure it will at some point. I'm not sure if it'll happen gradually or all of a sudden. Graduation last night was a big success and I think helped me and the students to get some closure. It turned into a pretty big, over the top thing, and for a while I was really wondering if trying to do this was a stupid move on my part. Thankfully, Justin's church, Wilmington City Vineyard Church , volunteered to provide refreshments and help with setup and cleanup. They were a huge help, and it made everything way nicer than if I had just done it myself. I was just planning on throwing a pack of cookies and some juice on a table, but they had tablecloths and healthy snacks and got me folding chairs and all sorts of helpful stuff. I'd say there were about 60 people there, plus my 8 students and the volunteers from...
