Meet and Greet
Today was Meet and Greet at our school. 21 of my 23 students or their parents came to meet me. Most of them brought their supplies! That means that I'll have a lot of work to do tomorrow.
It seems like I'll have a lot of parental involvement this year. A couple want their children challenged more this year. I am looking forward to another GREAT year.
How does your class look this year?

I just found the cutest activity for the first day of school. Anna at Simply Skilled in Second has these wonderful flip flap books. Today she has an "I Love to Read" version for FREE! Get your own by following the link below.

I won't get my class list until two days before school starts. That's when we have Meet and Greet. The students are supposed to bring their supplies on that day. They get to meet their new teacher and some come to visit their old teachers. I'm going to go to look for cute ideas to thank the parents for coming.

I've finally decided to try to share my creations. I now have a Teacher's Notebook account. The account name is Just Teaching 2nd, just like this blog. I'm still not sure what the direct link is. I also haven't had time to upload any products. I think that I will try to do that now, so I'll post more later.

Love my Students
Today started with a bang...of thunder. Thankfully I don't have a small car because I wouldn't have been able to get out of my driveway. Within 30 minutes, the street was flooded to the top of the curbs. 7 students were absent. When one student came in later, she told me that they had overslept because the power was out.
As I was monitoring the class across the hall since the teacher was late, I told my class, "Y'all can work in your math book." Student I says, "Thank you, Ms. Justi." When I asked why he was thanking me, he replied, "For letting us do math.". I'm really going to miss thIs class.

It only took about an hour for each story to type the questions and answers and to add the clip art. Once I started, I didn't want to stop, so I worked through the night. Whew! (I knew I could take a nap today, if necessary.)
I still have a few questions to create and a few answers to verify. Since this is only my second year teaching the stories, I am not totally familiar with them all. I didn't think to bring a book home with me and the links that I have to the online editions weren't cooperating., but I am mostly finished. Yay!
