children returning to school

I was on vacation for 10 days in New Orleans with my family. We had a wonderful time. It took us 2 1/2 days to get there and back on the train. 

Well two of my 3 children will return to school very soon. My daughter begins her sophomore year on Aug. 10 and my son will begin first grade on Aug. 15. My 3 y/o (will be 4) will enter pre-kindergarten on September 7 which is the day that I return to work.

I'm looking forward to teaching my second year of 5th grade. I have a lot of wonderful ideas in my head tha I want to implement this year.  One of the main improvements will be with me staying late on Mondays to prepare for the week. This will make my commute longer but it will be worth it in the long wrong. Fortunately, 2 of my children will alrady be close to home or at home by the time I arrive. To help me out at home,I hav decided to organize my life. For instance, Monday will be Crock Pot night and so forth. Lunches will be packed at night and clothes will be ironed and laid out at night as well. I will pack my car at night as well. My goal is to be out the door by 5am every morning. I will prepare for this ow because I have to go to two trainings and professional development meetings so I can work on my routine.

I'm looking forward to meeting my new students and helping them soar to the next level.
