Team building ativity

I've had a great first few days! I am worn out already, but loving it still! The kids really responded well to this team building activity and 'got' why I had them do it! Looking forward to what lies ahead!
That's all for now!

1st Day

Today was the first day with students. It went well, but it went by so fast I feel like I need a nap now that it's over! It is going to be interesting getting used to our hybrid schedule and all of the new staff/students, but I am looking forward to it!
Now off to spend some time with my biological munchkins before I have to go do it all over again tomorrow!

Getting Ready

I survived Common Core training, and have my classroom ready to go (finally!). I will post some pictures at a later date.
We are doing a hybrid schedule of resource/inclusion this year and have several new additions to our staff, so the beginning of the year is likely to be hectic. Please continue to pray for me that I can do my job well and never forget that the kids are most important regardless of all the 'crap' the state comes up with and calls important...
Thanks!
More to come...

Getting Ready for the Upcoming School Year

No, I did not, in fact fall off the face of the earth! The first full year of teaching is probably not the ideal time to start blogging...
Anyhoo... I am SO looking forward to the new school year and have been having fun implementing some of the wonderful ideas I've garnered from Pinterest into my classroom! (Including this 'did you know? ' board to encourage exploration of nonfiction text to find a worthy fact to grace mrs. p's 'did you know?' board!)
I am in the throes of an intense 3 day common core training right now, so to be quite honest, I'm looking forward to that being over so I can get back to work in my room!
So, hopefully, I will be a better blogger this year...
:)
