first day

it is the first day for both me and dr.  my first day of school is today and dr. begins his rotation in the cardiology department.  he has two weeks of ekg reading followed by two weeks of chest x-ray.  it should be a relatively calm month for him which is absolutely wonderful because my hardest month starts today.  students do not arrive until thursday so i have about 5 more days to work up my nerves and become more nervous!

mom and dad A are coming today for the weekend.  this is the first time they will be here to enjoy themselves and not work on the house.  they get to see the ever growing veggie garden and enjoy the 106 weather that is killing the veggie garden.  

i am posting on my classroom blog and will post later today also.

my blog

i have become more of a computer nerd.  i have made a website for my "class".  it is really just a way for me to stay organized and document things i do in class so i can look back and remember what worked and what didn't.  you can go to my blog by clicking on the link on the side that says ms. weber's class.  i know i left out the "r" in ms.  i forgot i was married.  this is still new to me. i also cut out my name for my door but i accidently cut out ms. allen instead of mrs. weber. 

last call

dr. is on call tonight.  it will be his last call in the neurosurgery icu.  on friday he will begin his rotation in ekg and chest x-ray.  august will be a slow month compared to what his july was like.  he will be the first emergency resident to ever go through this rotation.  they just added it to the schedule.

i went to the wives alliance meeting yesterday.  i got to meet about 7 other wives from all different departments.  we set dates for girls night out, the welcome party, and christmas party.  we are also going to have a bunco group and we do a lot of community service.

i spent the whole day in my classroom.   most of the teachers were there today.  i got to meet the other teacher on my team (the third teacher will be on pregnancy leave until second semester).  i explained to the other team member different things i do in my class and she was very interested and said she would like me to walk her through my centers because she might adopt the way i do it.  that is comforting that i can actually add ideas rather than take everyone else's.

when i got to school this morning, some of my borders around my bulletin boards had fallen but a little glue got them right back up.  i have unpacked most of my boxes and have arranged my desks and gotten all my centers together.  tomorrow i will work more on the centers and add some more things to the wall.   here are a few pictures of my bulletin boards.
