Far and Away

awwww thanks @Faith-and-Hope They really are gorgeous and make the day itself a joy to be with them. I've completely fallen in love with them all already - so the year could not have started better - so grateful to be there ...just wish I was going to have them all year

How has your day been Hon?

@Zoe7 glad today went well

It went well enough I think @Zoe7. Some days will just be about ticking boxes, then seeing what the fallout is. It was one of those days ....

Hugs Hon ...day by day @Faith-and-Hope

Thanks @Pepsimax

How are you going @Zoe7 ? Nearly finished with your prep tonight ?

Given up on it for tonight @Faith-and-Hope so will have to do more tomorrow and see how far I get. I can stay after school for as long as I need to get the rest of the stuff done for the kids.

Just got Cat inside so I can head to bed myself - feeling really worn out now and irritable so not sure how sleep will go but really need it. Tobes is playing jumpy, rolly games with my foot so I will let him do that for another couple of minutes then head to bed. Catch up with you over the next couple of days sometime Hon

Take care @Zoe7 . Sleep well 💕💤

@Teej 👋💕

@Faith-and-Hope The first week has finished. I stayed really late to get all the labels done and printed out so they are now done. Just the laminating and cutting out to do over the weekend. Some of the kids helped me do them this afternoon - it actually made it more difficult and time consuming but they were loving doing it so I let them. It also gives them some ownership over them so it was worth the extra time.

We started some work today too - and the little sweethearts were so engaged. It meant I could help a couple of kids that needed it and also gave me an idea of who to adjust the work for and what groups to put them in. I also found the kids that were able to do more and therefore need to organise extension work for them - so all in all a really valuable learning experience for both them and me.

I had a really lovely moment with one of the kids this afternoon too - she was helping doing the labels and liked the way I was making sure they were all the same - her comment was 'how smart I was to be doing it the way I was' ...that made me feel all warm and fuzzy - what a lovely thing to say

Tobes was so happy to see me when I got home ...Cat just wanted her dinner lol So both of them are fed and happily laying in their respective areas. It is much colder this afternoon so Cat won't be outside long and of course Toby is close to me on the couch. I am looking forward to the long weekend to be able to spend time with them and get some more things organised for school. I am getting there and hope by the end of next week it will be all done ...then there is just ongoing planning, marking and recording to go.

How has your day been?
