Second grade here too!  I was VERY lucky last year... had only 22 - which is low.... with all of the cuts - who knows what this year will bring.  We don't start until the Wednesday after Labor Day... well, I start on the Tuesday....when I first started teaching 29 years ago, I taught in a Catholic school and had 36 kindergartners ALL to myself!  And... I was MUCH younger then!  LOL

I also teach 2nd grade.  I get to start the year with 34 !!  No aides of course.

school start Aug. 23 for students, Aug. 21 for teachers.

Carrie, I am so jealous that you can bring your dog to work with you! I wonder if my principal would allow it...

School starts august 23 here. I teach high school mathematics and last year I had around 165 students! I had almost 180 students one year when I was living in FL!

Wish on, J!  A list of 23 for primary is wishful thinking here in California.  And an aide!  They are few and far between.  What has education come to?  When I started out, I had a combo K-1 bilingual class with 22 students and two aides.  Those days are long gone.

I'm retired, but school starts here next week.  Opening ceremonies tomorrow.

I'm slowly getting back into things too.  Very different teaching for me, though - I teach college Biology and I have 125 students!  (5 classes of 25)

23 seems like a lot for grade 2 - do you have an EA to help you out? (I wish I had one sometimes and I work with adults!)

Yes, this was my week off. It went too quickly! We brought Bogart home on Monday. He has been adjusting well, learning to sleep in his crate, spend some time alone without too much crying. I have taken him to my classroom a few times to test it out. Summer school starts Monday and he will be going with me (8am-12pm). I think he will be fine. He basically sleeps that whole time now anyway. We will see how it goes!

Carrie - was this your week off?  How is the new puppy working out?  It will be another whole new routine for him to go to school with you.  Let us know how it goes.  We are all thinking of you.

Hi everyone! I am new here to Doodlekisses. I am also new to Goldendoodles (I have had other breeds like Australian Shepherds). I will be bringing home my new puppy right after school gets out (last day is June 15th and we bring him home on the 18th). I am very excited! I have one week to work on getting him crate trained and used to his new house before summer school starts! Then I will be taking him with me for summer school. I am very lucky to have a principal who has given me permission to have him in my classroom. I hope to ultimately integrate him into my class routines, but that won't be until he is better trained. I am a little nervous and anxious to see how this all works out, but excited  for all of the possibilities. Has anyone else taken their doodle to school?
