Will have my first sub job tomorrow--this might be a record (?!?!) it only being the 3rd day of school! In the 5+ years I have been subbing that is pretty darn early. But.... cool. Might as well jump right in. I think I will be covering 9th and 10th grade science, so some new kids and some "old" ones.
I went in to the school for a few hours today to take care of Drama stuff and get my name changed on my paycheck and email account. It was a great day for my ego--everyone was so happy to see me, and wishing me well on my new marriage.
I hung 45 posters around the school advertising my Fall Drama program (starts next Tuesday), signed the contract for the Spring Musical. I also negotiated space for my new (and not improved) prop room. It is full of ancient choral music and....spiders. Ewww. My old (amazing space) was commandeered for the ISS room. That just seems soooo unfair!!!! But... I was very pleasantly surprised that the principal was so kind to spend 40 minutes walking me around the school and talking to the music teachers to help me find new space. That was pretty amazing. I worked it out with the choral teacher that I will come in and help him clean it out and.... de-spider it on Thursday after school. (ewwwwwww.......)
The school is all moved around now that the 7th and 8th graders are there. There is new lighting, every inch is spotless (Except for my new prop room....) many empty rooms now bright and bustling. It feels like it was a good move. There were many new adult faces running around looking cheerful and energetic. (Hmmm.... maybe I have not been in a school so early in the year before? Maybe by October-when I usually get there--they won't be quite so chipper?) :) :) :) :) :) har har har.
I just got off the phone with Susie and Dan--they are all excited about starting school tomorrow. They spent a long time telling me what they were going to wear-even Dan. Alannah called last night and we had a very nice chat. She is excited about all of her new classes. Unfortunately she had to give up Concert Choir, but will still be in Women's Choir. There are just too many credits to cram into the next two years. Scott is at unemployment "school" tonight, so when he gets back we will call Angela and Kennedi to find out how their first day went. They are both in new schools, so that should be exciting. Angela's school is very large--1800 students or something like that---grades 6-8. At least, that is a very big school to us!
Aidan came right home to do her homework. So far, so good. I am very encouraged how "into" school she is right now--she is really throwing herself into it with a lot of effort. One can only hope that sticks, right?
Susie's 10th birthday party will be in Owego on Saturday with her friends. Her theme is "Tinkerbell". She asked me to make her a costume to wear, so I whipped one up for her with a pattern that Scott's mom gave me. Scott will get it shipped out tomorrow so she should have it in time.
I started playing with the yo-yos...... they are soooo adorable!!!!
