The Past Two Weeks

Over the past two weeks, I've worked a lot of hours getting myself, and my classroom, ready for this school year.  I didn't take genuine before pictures, but I snapped these a day or two into the cleaning/rearranging process. 


Some days were like a blur...


and some days I just felt like it was a lot of work.


But tonight, I met my students... 


and I was so glad to be ready for them. 


Are you surprised that I'm teaching 2nd grade?  I didn't really see it coming either.  But I'm really excited about this opportunity--and I'm so thankful to my friends who have shared elementary ideas with me.  Now please, someone, grant me good penmanship; this writing in perfect print and teaching cursive business is scaring me!!!!  I love the staff at LCS, I really love (and am so thankful for) my mentor and fellow second-grade teacher, and I can't wait to build relationships with my students.  I'm looking forward to a great year. :)

  1. I'm so excited for you that you get to teach at a Christian school. Hopefully, your first year will be as full of good learning experiences as Mary Jane's was.
