Well we are getting closer to the first day of school and I have really been working hard to get my classroom ready for my new group of students. I am anxious to get my list of students so that I can group them and then place their names on their desks as well as on my front door.  I am now moving towards looking at the teachers manuals....a nice room is good but doesn't mean anything if i don't know what I am teaching. I still have a week and a half to get up to speed so I am sure that I will be fine.

I am posting the photos that I have taken so far to show the progression of my room.....I hope you like them.  (I figured you would rather see these instead of the ones of the teachers editions.) haha!

New School...New Grade Level...New Students

Obviously I am not very good at keeping up with a blog since it has been over a year since my last post...but I am going to try to do better this year.  Well, my first year of teaching was a pretty interesting one and I must say that I learned a lot last year.  This past school year consisted of many many ups and downs but I am happy to say that I made some very good friends and was blessed with some of the most amazing students around.  The school that I was in last year was deemed a turn-around school this year due to the FCAT testing scores...therefore all faculty and administration were removed and placed elsewhere in the district.  I could not be any happier with my placement for this upcoming school year.  I will be teaching 3rd grade at Oakcrest Elementary and feel very privileged to be a part of their wonderful faculty and staff.  I feel certain that this year promises to hold many exciting and memorable moments....and I can't wait to share them here on my blog.  I have been working very hard to get things ready to move into my new room and will posts pictures in the next few days.  Until then...
