New Year, New Adventure!


We are partially through our week of teacher meetings and classroom preparations!  Even though I have been in and out of my classroom working on things all summer, now it seems like it is a mad rush to get finishing touches put on everything and work out all those last minute details.  Rooms are being decorated and arranged, schedules are worked out, and classrooms are almost ready for students to step into in less than a week!

One thing that always seems to take more time that I anticipate when it comes to getting my classroom ready for the year is putting together my bulletin boards.  I have a few tweaks to make still, but I am excited about the one I spent part of my day on today!

Here it is, with my daughter in the middle (she will be starting Kindergarten next week).



My role is a little different this year again, now I am solely the Technology Teacher for 5th and 6th grade.  I have handed over the writing portion to a new teacher to our district and I can't wait to see how she is able to really push them and advance them in their writing since she is able to focus strictly on writing.

It is going to be an excited and interesting year, as always!  I can't wait to see what is in store for this year with our newest group of students!
