Hey Diane...

How's school going???

I guess high school and kindergarten aren't really that different, because I also have a few children who'd rather not do any work! One asks all day long 'When are we going outside?' I told him if he asks one more time I'm going to scream, and 5 minute later he says 'Don't scream, but are we going outside soon?' It was really kind of funny!

I'm glad things are going well for you. I was so overwhelmed my first month in my own classroom. I'm glad you aren't feeling that way.

ohh I was feeling overwhelmed, still am, because I have a lot of 11th graders who I have to help them pass the Regents exams. It is a lot of pressure not only on the kids, but us as well. Some of them dont even care whether they pass them or not...its pretty sad

That is sad. You have your work cut out for you, but I know in the end everyone will do well. It's hard to have to believe in people who don't believe in themselves, but I know youwill do a great job.
