Week One

Here you can view some photos of our first week. Keep checking this site, it's our school's site and more pictures and updates of the school will be posted often, hopefully. We had a great first week of school and really enjoyed meeting all of our kids. The best part of the week was the balloon launch. We launced balloons up into the air on the end of Thursday with messages from all the kids with their hopes for the year. Each year got to cut and release a balloon into the sky. The kids loved it. Even the new teachers got to send one up so I got to cut it while Matt and Sarah released it up to the clouds. Things are still a bit unsettled as we are trying to figure out our building, where our students need to be and new students are still trickling in. But with time it will all come. The weekend was full of sleeping and cleaning. Though we did make it out for dinner and a movie. We were a bit disappointed because we made reservations at a place but then it was overbooked and we didn't have time to wait and still make our movie. So we just got sandwiches instead and then saw Funny People. It was okay but not too funny but still nice to go out. Back to school tomorrow. Here we go!
