Sketchbooks, Sketchbooks Everywhere

Whew!  Two weeks of school done with...waaaay more to go.  I wanted to blog before now, but it's been super busy these last few weeks.  I am so ready for Labor Day weekend!

I've got a full load of 1st and 2nd graders this year (Other Art Teacher traded me some of her 1st grade classes), nearly as many 3rd graders and one 4th grade class, as per usual. (I'm sure they'll love being the only 4th graders--more stuff for them in centers.)  They're all pretty good classes so far, and my most troublesome is--thankfully--not troublesome in terms of misbehavior so much as being loud, excited, and bright.  They tucker me out, but it'll be a fun class all the same.

Back to the Grind

Well, this is it.  Tomorrow is the first day of school, and I'm running towards it full tilt boogie.

The last week and a half has been a whirlwind  of classroom prep.  I found out at the end of last term that I was going to be moving classrooms again and that I would be moving into the music teacher's room, as it has a sink.  Okay.  Student Minions, move my stuff!

The only problem?  The music teacher was out for knee surgery and had no idea.  Fast forward to now.
