School is now in full swing. We've completed two weeks and have started our third. I have 9 students in K-2. It's nice having a small group with three grades. They sure keep me busy!
I've also been busy making costumes for a pirate party we went to this last weekend. I worked on these almost every night for 2 weeks straight, plus Sundays. Rhett's was the time consuming one. He picked a great pattern out, but it was just very detailed. We had a great time at the party. We were hoping for a day off today for the hurricane, but it looks as though we will have to wait for Monday and Labor day. I'm ready for a break...hard to believe since we just started school, but I've been swamped. It's exhausting training the little kids at school and that's what we do for the first 2-3 weeks. We're just setting up expectations and slowing learning the routine, getting in lots of practice, learning how to obey, and slowly adding in classes. We're just about to a normal schedule this week except we are doing testing. I've just about got them trained. On to the next project I guess.
Actually, the next thing is that I'll be teaching a class in October at our school's fall festival for scrapbooking. Everyone who attends the crop will complete two pages. It should be fun, but I have to get everything ready. I have the ideas sketched or copied down for the layout and now I need to get the samples ready.
