Rivesville Elementary/Middle School
Ahhh.. the start of a new school year. I have always loved the first day of school as a child. The smell of a clean classroom, the new bulletin boards, excited teachers, that really cool "trapper keeper."
As I entered Rivesville Elementary yesterday, I was just as excited. Instead this time I would help create the clean classroom and newly created bulletin boards.
I felt like such a "teacher" as I attended Faculty Senate and the Faculty Meeting with the veteran teachers of Rivesville. My favorite part of the morning was Principal Stutler's congratulations to the teachers as Rivesville met the AYP for the school year and the students did unexpectedly well on the WESTEST. :) We celebrated with lunch and cake!
During the afternoon, I helped my host teacher, Mrs. Swann, prepare our kindergarten classroom. We worked on several bulletin boards and organized flashcards into plastic baggies.
Mmmm.. what an exciting time of the year!

Hey, I'm on your blog. I still blogs from Lindsay, Cait, and Theresa. I started off submitting and responding weekly, then crashed. I'll try to do better this year, as I really believe the blog will be a good data source for your AR. Trust me. I'm making this up as I go along! good to see you today/tuesday (of week 1).
Kristin,
Looks good! Happy blogging!

Kristin,
I am so glad that you will be working in my classroom. We will learn a great deal together. Please feel free to ask questions as we strive to provide the best education for those kindergarten students at Rivesville!!!!

Kristin,
Tomorrow is the big day - the first day of kindergarten! Be sure to observe and absorb Mrs. Swann's management techniques.
I'll be anxious to hear the highlights of your first day.

Mr. Stutler is one reason why Rivesville is a good place: he congratulates his teachers. What an idea! AND CONGRAT's ARE IN ORDER. wow. good news.
First day is an important day for the kids. And for you, too. It's interesting to see how you think about the other side of the coin, being a teacher rather than a student. keep going, Kristin!
