First 2 days over!!!!

Well I just made it through the first two days of school! Whew, I am sooo tired and my feet hurt so bad. I forget all we do at the beginning of the year, every year until we start the year again. Oh yeah, we can now have 24! Yikes! I just love our President and Governor who have never taught Kindergarten before. I would love for them to teach a class of 20, 22, or 24 for a week and see if they would raise our numbers. I think lawmakers should try it first. (Time to get off my soapbox)
I hope everyone is having a great year! I can't wait till the first 3 weeks are over. I just need to remember to be stricter, that way I have more control at the beginning. They are so sweet and cute.I sometimes let too much go.... Tomorrow Meanie Hoang will be there.

HELP!!!!!!!!

I need to know if anyone has used a math program called "Investigations"? I just found out today, we are dropping Envisions and doing Investigations. I know you are all so great about sharing your plans when teachers are in a crunch. We need an example of how you do it,  materials storage suggestions, etc, anything would be helpful.
Thank you in advance.
Sorry to be missing in action... We have had PD's all week (information overload...)
