First Week Back….. Exhaustion!

Let me just say…. Happy FriYAY!!!!

Here in Texas we have been back in full swing with school this week!  Our kiddos came back this past Monday and we’ve been going strong ever since.

As you know, this was my first year in Kindergarten, after spending my entire career up to this point in first grade.  I was a little nervous, excited, anxious, and quite honestly, a little overwhelmed!  Y’all…. kindergarten is tough! {As you all know!}

With the first week one of the busiest and most important weeks of the school year…. I was limited on pictures this week! I will say that I didn’t lose any children this week…. everyone got fed…. so I would say the week was a success!

Here is what DID happen this crazy week!

Day 3 – Fire Drill (although… not a drill} DURING KINDERGARTEN LUNCH!  Yes…. I couldn’t believe it either!  Imagine grabbing 80 kindergartners away from their lunch that they have been asking for since they arrived at school {y’all know… “When’s Lunch?” and it’s only 8:15….}  I must say… it went pretty smoothly considering….

Day 4 – Fire Drill {NOT A DRILL – this time… smoke was involved!} DURING DISMISSAL!!  Yes… it happened again.  You can imagine all of the parents in the pick-up lanes having to watch all of their children being escorted to the fields and the fire trucks and their blazing sirens coming through the parking lot…..  

Day 5 – Two sweet little kindergartners just bringin’ their little ole’ country self out to the playground and peeing on the side of the school…. I mean… when you live out in the country that’s what you do…right?!  {My own boys are guilty of this…. although not at school!}  I definitely had to laugh at this!

Well…. week one down….. and …….. a lot more to go!

I spent last Saturday up at school finalizing everything and making sure my room, materials, lessons, activities, etc… were all ready to go for Monday morning….

Here are few pre-first day pictures!
