Fitting in like one of those little round pegs

I've managed two days in my new classroom, and I feel like I've gotten a lot accomplished. Boy I'm excited to really have a place call home again.

I've met two of my colleges thus far, and let me tell you folks, I'm in some good company, those ladies are great!

This is my room thus far..

I'm really proud of the way it's coming together and I suppose it was meant to be that the room in yellow, since that was one of my "design" colors.

In the coming weeks I have to finish my room, prep for open house night, learn a new literacy and a new math program in addition to PD, and getting to know my kids. I can't wait to tackle all of this....

But first, some supper. Check out this beaut that is for dessert.

Sweet Salvation

This past week I got a job!!! (Insert extremely over the top happy dance with lots of hip gyration here.)

I will be working at Woodland Elementary in Radcliff. I get to teach first grade!!! This will be the youngest set of babies I've ever taught.

My new job is a bit bittersweet. I hate to leave Hart County and all the familiarity that comes with my small hometown, but I'm beyond excited for new opportunities and experiences.

I've been busy as a bee making crafts for my classroom and planning lessons galore in my head. I get to meet my three fellow first grade friends hopefully this week! I can't wait to make their acquaintances.

More to come after I pick up my keys on Monday!!!
