Back to it

I spent the morning at the school sorting through the stuff I've purchased or ordered.  Found out I double ordered colored pencils and red pens, but hey, those things are always useful.  I had some helpers put together the little boxes of pencils, crayons, scissors and so forth while I moved boxes of copy paper off the counter and into storage.  The books are in the reading center again and the kids' names are on the cubbies, though those will change when we get the move-ins and move-outs list.  I almost feel excited about starting again - almost.  It's hard to look forward to the new year when nothing's really new.  Of the three different jobs I could have moved to I got none.  I'm back where I was last year.  I just can't seem to get charged up by that.  Ah well, it will be a year of differences.  We have a new principal and vice principal and they are both very young.  And with Mike retiring in May and Kimmi working at the school with me it should be a different year in some fundamental ways.  Just not the ways I was hoping.  Well, welcome to 2010-11.
