first day of school. despite one mishap of our son leaving his bag of supplies home he had a great day. here he is playing at recess. it's great to see him as a student here. this morning he asked to come visit me, which he did, and asked to go home. but after some encouragement he had a great day and kept saying that long after school had ended.

day two hundred.forty


my first lesson plans in at least four years. it is like sliding into a comfortable pair of jeans you forgot you had hiding in the back of your closet. comforting and surprising that they still fit. tomorrow is going to be exciting for myself and our son. we packed his lunch and checked off all the needed supplies on his list. despite his two-mornings-a-week precursor last year, this preschool will be new and anxiety-ridden. all day. everyday. but in the school i am teaching at. i ran to walmart (one of the few places open in this hurricane threatened area) for some last minute classroom items and puzzling together each minute of the upcoming week.
