The First

I've been at school for the past 3 days, having meetings, getting the new room set up, writing up plans. Last night we had a school picnic and I saw some of the peeps. Everyone seemed in a pretty good mood and I was glad to see their little faces. One mom introduced herself and told me her son's name. I asked her right off the bat, "Is he good?" She looked totally taken aback and began sputtering some phrases, but then I reassured her that I was just kidding with her and I knew her kid was good. She laughed somewhat nervously, but then she nodded and said, "He has some issues, but he really is a good kid." It was fun freaking out a parent. I usually just focus on the kids. Let's keep everyone on their toes this year.
Happy first day to everyone who's heading back in.
