something about your summer


Well, today was the first day of school! I won't lie...I had my outfit all picked out before I went to bed last night. See, here it is!

I also had my lunch made!  Of course, my lunch was a frozen Healthy Choice meal that I bought from a gas station, but it counts!

In keeping with my theme of predictable first day of school behaviors, I came up with quite a cliche warm-up activity for the kids: On an index card, write something about your summer that you would like the class to know.  When the kids asked for clarification, I said, "Some people wrote about going on a vacation; some people wrote about hanging out with friends; some people wrote about going to the movies.  Just write something about your summer."  So that's exactly what Kevin* did.  In very neat handwriting, he wrote, something about your summer.

It's going to be a long year.

*name changed to protect the innocent...and highly literal
