Sorry I have been MIA - I wrote about the labour day long weekend but am apparently not as good at learning new things as I thought I was and couldn't figure out how to publish my blog with the new layout, and then I lost it. It's not on my blog editing list. Oh well.

Also, I forgot that working made my busy and tired. So blogging gets dropped way down on my list of priorities.

BUT I have a cute anecdote from school today I wanted to share. Two of my students weren't participating in our morning circle and songs this morning, so I asked them to go sit at their tables. Later, I asked each one what happened and why they hadn't participated and these were their answers:

Student #1: "I was still sleeping" (he did arrive to school late)
Student #2: (in a Darth Vader like voice) "My throat just really hurts" (he was absent yesterday)

They both had really good excuses. I felt kind of bad for sending them to their tables, but they definitely were not participating so I can't bend the rules just for them. In general this school year has started out being AWESOME! I have great students and I am just so happy to see them every day. I'm also happy about myself as a teacher, I feel really good and patient!
