One week down....

I can't believe how fast the first week of school went by. We had a great first week and learned a lot. We did several activities to bond us as a school family and learn more about each other. This year is going to be a great year! It has been a change teaching two classes but I am really enjoying it. First, I get to teach kids my first passion, which is reading. I hope to instill the love of reading in all of my students.  Also, I only have to plan 3 subjects instead of 5! I love it! This week I cam home exhausted pretty much every night. I hope this week I will be used to the schedule a little bit and have a little more energy.

First Day of School

As you can see, I did a whole lot of nothing after my trip. Today was the first day of the school year and it was great! My feet hurt but I can live with that. This year I am teaching fourth grade language arts and social studies. I have two great groups of kiddos and I think we are going to have a lot of fun!

The kids were very excited about our pets. The hermit crabs are back for another year of 4th grade. I believe there are 2 crabs, maybe 3. We also have a new addition, Hammy the Hamster. He is an active little guy and I think the kids are excited about him, but not so sure about having to clean out his cage. I'm with them.... gross!

If you are a parent, we will have plenty of updates here. Be sure to check back here often for updated information. Please send in a picture of your family for our friends and family board. I love my family but would love to have some other faces on there. Also, we will have a snack since we are the last lunch. Please send a healthy snack that is not too messy since we will eat and work. If you have any questions, please email me. I am looking forward to working with you and your child and building a successful year!
