So when does everyone go back to school?

I'm in Upstate New York, so we go back September 3rd with kids starting September 4th

I am in Toronto Ontario and we also go back on September 3rd. I will have to go into school the last 2 weeks of August to prep my room. I am a bit worried about how I will fit in my exercise once school starts.

What grades do you all teach? I teach kindergarten and in September we are going to full day programs, up to now I have had an AM and PM class.

I teach computers at my school Pre-k through 12 grades.

I'm also the WebMaster and newsletter editor and yearbook adviser. I've been going in a couple of days a month to work on some paperwork and updating stuff. My room is a mess... its a storage room right now because we have a capital building project going on.

I've been looking at ideas on the world according to eggface blog. I'm so not a planner when it comes to lunches.. so this is going to be a big deal for me this year.

I have been checking out eggface and Bariatric Foodie they both have great recipes. I also am not great at planning lunch but that will have to change

I like the Bento Box idea, may give that a try.

It will be the timing of stuff that will be difficult for me. September we go full day kindie and the kids will be eating in our classroom at 11:20-11:50 then going outside. I used to do work in my room till 11:50 then go to the staffroom for 20 minutes for lunch, but now with the kids in the room I won't be able to work so should eat first but 11:20 is soooo early!!! Not quite sure how I will do it yet, guess I will have to play it by ear!

So you are in charge of web stuff at your school. I will have to pick your brains. I have class website that someone set up for me and I edit and add stuff etc. but there are a few things I would like to change.....

Anyway we are off for a bike ride on this lovely summer morning, enjoy the last few weeks of holidays.

You think your lunch is early... oy! Mine is at 10:50 this year! How crazy is that?

OMG that's not lunch it's mid morning snack!!!!

that is when our 9-12th graders will be having lunch as well! I think teachers are going to have to allow for some snacking in the afternoon. I know I'll be snacking! I think I'll be starting my day off with a light meal so I can have my lunch at 10:50! then I can snack a few hours later if needed!

I've been working this week on getting 6 brand new laptop carts set up. I think we now have 9 carts! that's pretty exciting! However, I am dreading that my computer lab will now be laptops, I'd rather have desktops.
