First Day of School, etc

I love the first day of school. Here I can enjoy the class being totally cooperative, smiles on their faces, eager to please, etc. This "honeymoon" period varies in length from year to year. I am hoping for at least a week. :-) Truly amazing - I had 21 students in my classroom. That's all that have enrolled so far. Last spring I was told they would max me at 25 --- I'll believe that when it really happens (our max is ususlly 32). I have a godly man as a teaching partner for the other 6th grade class. We have another Christian man teaching 5th grade as well. It looks to be a blessed year from that stand point.

Construction is continuing on the home front. Carpet installed today. Electrician will come tomorrow, finishing the wiring in the back part of the house. Then we should be able to move back in to our normal bedroom. We take the wall paper off the kitchen walls tomorrow evening. Then the following week the painters will return for the front part of the house. Little by little.....
