My Classroom

Exhausted. Yes, that's how I feel after my first week of school. However, it's definitely a good type of exhaustion :) I've honestly had one of the best weeks ever, I have an amazing group of kiddos this year and am so excited about the upcoming year with them. The first day went really well, I love watching the parents walk their kids to class, help them find their desk, and try their hardest to sneak away while their child isn't looking. I love getting my picture taken by a parent with their child on the first day. I love how at 8:15 a little boy asks if it's time for lunch yet. I love that "earning a marble","table point", or "ticket" is the biggest highlight of their day. I love that I've already had a student invite me over for dinner. I love that one mom said that her son "prays for me every night"...how sweet!

Anyway, I'm not able to share pictures of my kids with you, but I wanted to go ahead and show you my room. This year it took me a lot longer to get my room just the way I wanted because I decided to completely rearrange my classroom. For the past two years I haven't been perfectly content with the set-up and have been needing a change. Now, that the first week is over, I am very happy I did!
