Of course they are first graders, so they act in certain ways I don't want, but all but one when I redirect or give an instruction listen right away. At the end of each day we always say "what was my favorite part of the day" and by the end of the week almost half of my kids were saying "todo"-everything!
My school is so supportive, they've been very helpful and the climate at school is just very happy and fun; people work hard, but they know that work is not life and they head home at decent hours!
Even with it being the first week of school, and having to stay after a little late, I've had lots of free time; enough to finish one of my wedding presents: Paris Puzzle
This weekend we have been able to enjoy the beautiful fall weather. Played tennis right by our house yesterday, walked the "bog walk" http://www.minneapolisparks.org/default.asp?PageID=4&parkid=356 today (walking distance from our house) and have been able to have the windows open almost 24/7! Last night I got to celebrate with my one Minneapolis friend Julie for her bachelorette night, and we went to Uptown, danced the night away and people watched!
Today was a true Minnesotan, put on my Adrian Peterson Jersey and watched the Vikings win with Mark and our friend Tyler. We ate normal football food....huge vegetable tray and delicious cookies.
Overall, I'd say great first week. I've started normal schedule again, fall is coming, I've got a ticket booked to go to NC in a month, I'd say September is starting out well :)
