Deb, I like this one:
The PTA meeting last night was interesting. I kept my mouth shut, but another mother did ask. The principal basically said the same things that she said to me, and I don't think it made a very good impression. This morning she was talking to some teachers (one of my good friends among them), and said that she thought the meeting went very well last night. My friend told her that she had some very upset parents still, and the principal was a bit surprised. My friend gave her my number, and the principal called me to ask to meet with me again tomorrow about this matter. She was much friendlier than at our last meeting. Maybe she can learn.
Steffy and Terry, the principal is probably a few years older than I am...maybe early 50's. She didn't introduce herself or give any of her background, so I'm not entirely sure. I do know that most recently she was an assistant principal at another elementary school in the district. Again, that would have really help the first impression of many at the meeting last night. I guess she has a few things to learn, but if she can start being open to that, she may do well. I am keeping an open mind.
I had another great day with the 3's! This is such a verbal group of three year olds, and they are already getting along so well with one another. There are a few minor things going on with the director, but I don't even want to think about that right now. I really do think that 3 is my favorite age to teach. There is such a wonder and magic about them and their first school experience.
I'm sorry that I have had to skip a bunch again. Tomorrow won't be any better, because I am helping with Dunk the Teachers day at Miles' school right after work. They have to read a certain number of pages to earn balls to throw at the Dunk Tank. The gym and art teachers sit in the tank, and it's always fun.
