a day in the life of mrs. bergland

6:20 - ironing/pack lunch

6:50 - out the door (don't worry, it won't last)

7:10 - arrive at school; rearrange desks; can't remember new login password to get on the computer; get spastic

7:50 - staff devotions; water bottle filled

8:15 - students arrive

8:30 - school day begins; language arts

9:45 - kids off to recess; a moment of freedom

10:00 - kids back in; handwriting/reading - trying to figure out reading groups

11:50 - find out student crying in office is mine; his wrist is broken; fell off monkey bars; 3rd grade teacher leaves because she's queasy just from looking at it

12:00 - kids back in; sweet prayer offered up for broken wrist boy; read aloud time - I started The Boxcar Children and kids are on the edge of their seats; love that.

12:30 - math

2:00 - Bible - Creation and how light was created on Day 1, plants on Day 3 and the sun didn't show up til Day 4; had a great discussion on how plants can grow when there's no sun and if there's light but no sun, where is the light coming from? Out of the mouth of babes, "With God nothing is impossible." Couldn't have said it better myself.

the rest of the school day is a blur

Yeah, I understand that schedule. When my feet hit the floor at 5:00 am, I don't usually stop till after papers are graded that night after 9:00. Throw in two children with that, and it is a lovely mix. lol
