Today a parent brought in 25 apples for us to use! It was very nice of her. This is the parent I probably know most now (although I've forgotten her name! oops!). She's stopped in a few times and chatted with me about the room and such. She's very positive and keeps telling me how cute it looks in the room, and how it looks organized and "like a teacher" in the room. She also kept saying this morning how she thinks I'm doing a great job and how she's glad I'm able to be there for the whole time. So anyway, I like her. But yeah, she brought apples, so we weighed one, and they kids each got one to draw a picture of on their little observation sheet.
This morning went really well. The students did 5 minutes of Read to Self today (which yes, is a big accomplishment for first grade). It so big, we wrote a note to the principal to tell her about it! The kids were so excited and proud of themselves. I hope they will be able to do it again tomorrow!
The afternoon was ok, but a little crazy. Lots of cutting and pasting going on and that always gets some kids acting cuckoo. We may be doing some more tomorrow so hopefully I don't lose my mind! :)

It sounds like you had another good day. You have a parent on your side and that's very nice. I'm sure she is really relieved that her child has an organized and fun classroom to come to. I liked the title today. I'm amazed you had the class all quiet for five minutes! That's impressive. Love you!!! MOM
What a smart mom that lady is. She needs to go find the principal and repeat all of those wonderful, positive comments to the principal. I love it when kids are proud of their good work, super cute to see that. Sounds like a great day.
