Still Here
Hello, again.
I realize it’s been a while since I’ve posted. It’s actually been a while since I’ve done a lot of things. Not to say that we haven’t been busy in the classroom, or that the kids haven’t been keeping me on my toes, or that the stories I leave with at the end of the day haven’t been many and marvellous. It’s just been really nice to turn things off and step away from the glaring lights of screens, and not have a phone in my pocket everywhere I go. I’ve simply been revelling in a slower pace.
Oh, yes. Then there was the constant nausea, indescribable fatigue and raging hormones. That maaaaaay have had something to do with it, as well. All good things, really – my husband, Brent, and I are expecting our first child in the fall.
So, amid the glorious chaos of classroom life, my head is now also swirling with thoughts of strollers, cribs, all things tiny, and what on EARTH ones does with a baby once they bring them home.
I hope to hammer out some more posts before school’s out (just two more months, I’ll have you know) but in the meantime, the darlings of Division 16 and I will be going about our usual and wonderful grade one business.
Hope you all are swell.
Congratulations, Ms. Sumra! Our family is so,so happy to hear of your good news . Keren was so excited when I broke the news to her … her face lit up with so much joy. She is doing very well at Brentwood Park and her teachers are very happy to have her. They had a hip hop performance on Friday and today she was star of the day whereby she was given a topic to talk on … she spoke on her cultural background and swept her teachers off their feet with her pictures, artifacts and her high vocabulary as her teachers put it. Oh she’s already planning a visit when your baby comes. Anyways, Ms. Sumra, congratulations again to you and your husband. Take care and talk soon.
