Fifty dollars? Fifty years old? Nope, and nope. I’m talkin’ 50 entries in this month’s giveaway. If you haven’t yet entered, you can do so at February Giveaway. But don’t dillydally; your comment must be posted before midnight ET, Tuesday, February 7.
So what’s the first thing you did upon arriving at work on this fantastic Monday morning? I unpacked my bag and popped open a diet soda. Ahhhh! I’m ready for the day.
Have a good one!
Diane

Came in early, had my coffee, and distributed take home book buddies.
Unpack my book bag, take out the diet pop and open it, then check to make sure I have everything ready for the day.
came in and prepared for my class with a new bulletin board
The first thing I did was get my personal belongings in place and then prepared my room for the children.
I’ll be 50 this summer…yikes! anyway this a.m. I had a few sips of my nice hot DD coffee & looked over our Superbowl chart to talk about it first thing! We’re in the Boston area so Pats are our team!
Turned on the lights, turned on the computer, opened my bag and pulled out the lesson plans. Posted up the schedule, passed out students points for the store, gathered as a staff and I lead the staff prayer, checked my mailbox, got the kids, reminded them to hang up their bookbags, and take down their chairs, to move their lunch counter so the helper could count them for me. I entered in lunch count, informed line leader to start opening prayers and plege of allegience, instructed kids to change shoes, get sharpened pencils, pull out their handwriting book, help tear out pages, sent one kid to the office and another to the library for supplies, grabed a Dr. Pepper and sat down. All of this happened in 20 minutes or less. Whew!! I’m tired just reading this.
This morning I greeted our kitchen staff with a cheery “good morning”.
It is my birthday so I walked in and saw a special birthday banner from all the 2nd graders! Then I unpacked and helped the teacher next door with her computer.
I changed my leaders for the day, wrote a “morning message” to the kids, and put out morning work. Today was our 100th day so it was very busy and exciting!
Unlocked my classroom door, turned on the computer, reached for my lunch to put into the fridge and realized I left my lunch and breakfast at home! Unfortunately I had only five dollars, but fortunately I also had a Tim’s card to buy lunch and coffee. The rest of the day went very well.
turned the laminator on to laminate all the things I printed out and made over the weekend. put all the chairs down and set up centers –took some pictures of them to put on pinterest - and then made the trek to the photocopier - typical monday morning - lots of little things but looks like I didn’t do a thing!!!
It was one of those Mondays for me I walked in and the phone was ringing. LOL but it turned out to be a great Monday.
