The First Day

I am happy to report that our first day of school ended with very happy individuals!

Brayden enjoyed all of his classes, which contained plenty of friends to keep him happy.  Madison was a little terrified of her Mr. Hunting at first, but she proclaimed that he isn't scary at all....just loud!  Her class is also full of friends from years past, all except for her very best friend Sara.  It is a major adjustment to not see the two together....and a little bit sad.  Spencer and I had a blast in our 3rd grade class.  He definitely wanted to show his sassy side at first...but I nipped it with some procedures.  By the end of the day, he and I realized that we make a fabulous team.  The rest of our class was so well-behave and very SMART.  I was smiling all day!

My Classroom.....Finally!

After many long days....I am happy to announce that my classroom and lesson plans are ready....at least for the first three days of school.  While it is such a relief to finally be this far, I have really enjoyed the process.  I have dreamed of this classroom for so long and have worked so hard for it that I have been full of giddiness in the endeavor.  I am quite pleased with the turnout and hope my students will enjoy it too.
