It's done!!!!

So school starts Monday....what???? Where the heck did my summer go?  I am sooooo thankful that my Master's program was finished in May so I had my complete summer off. I moved Saturday to my new apartment and got all of my things put away nicely.  I got a lot of my classroom done today.  And we have a wedding shower on Sunday.  I plan to rest these next 4 days because the next break I get is the Wedding day!!!!

Here are some pictures of my class.   I will post more next week.

Wow! Abandonment!!! But a new year is coming.

     So, I have really abandoned my blog.  So sad.  This year has gotten away from me.  First, our sweet little Mikey passed away.  Then I got engaged. I finished my Masters.  I am moving schools and apartments.  I have let my blog go, but I'm back!

     I was told in May that I had to leave my classroom of 7 years and move out into portable world.  I was ok with it but really hate packing.  I packed my entire room and on the last day of school my asst. principal announced she was leaving but couldn't tell me where she was going yet.  She hugged me and said if I wanted a job for the next year to call her.  Later that day I found out she was going to a school that is 5 minutes from my house (as opposed to the 45 minute commute through downtown Nashville that I  was about to make everyday).
   
     I put in for a transfer on Tuesday and was hired to the new school on Thursday.  So exciting but scary at the same time.

    Here are pictures of my new classroom.




















                                                                                                                I have now moved all of my things in and have about 4 boxes left to unpack.  I WILL NOT embarrass myself and put those pictures on here.  I will have after ones in a week because school starts July 29.  :/

Ok I have to get back to packing my apartment.  I will post soon.
