What a way to start the week!

When you asked your child what we did today, and they replied, "nothing," or "had recess all day," they weren't wrong! When I got to school this morning, the lights weren't working in mine or Mrs. Kelly's room next door. What they originally thought would take a half hour to fix, ended up taking the entire day (I hope just one day anyway, I left right away after school since it was dark and I had wires hanging all over my desk!)
We started our day with a recess, visited the bus to go over rules, read books and had a morning meeting in room 100, went to PE, and then our room finally had lights by 10:00! At 1:00 they asked if they could work in our room again because Mrs. Kelley's room still didn't have lights! So instead of the kids being distracted by men on ladders in our classroom, we went out for an early recess, had snack, and then played with sidewalk chalk the rest of the day! And boy am I thankful it was a beautiful day so we could go outside!
