First Day of School

The first day of school went really well. The kids are wonderful, VERY energetic, fun and happy. We did introduction activities and when I told them that I was engaged the whole class clapped for me! I couldn't believe it. They all say good morning when they walk in the room and thank you when I pass out papers. They are extremely loud, but I think that goes for the majority of the people on the coast. Brad's 6th graders are wild! Yesterday during locker checkout they almost killed one another trying to get to the front of the line. Despite a bit of homesickness and dealing with scheming cab drivers things are going great.
