That time of year again!!!

If you flip up the footballs it gives their goals, how they are a good teammate, etc.

Yes...that is astroturf!


The cute girls I work with! They are so darling!

We have 5 fourth grade classes this year and included in this picture is a student teacher.

I have officially survived the first two weeks of school!!! This year (so far) I only have 25 kids and that is really nice! It is much faster to grade papers, easier to keep up with each student and their needs, their parents, paperwork, paperwork, paperwork, and easier to keep my sanity!!! :) I am not saying it is perfect, I have a couple that will give me a run for my money, but for the most part I have a really good class that respects each other and me!

I went into school for a few days over the summer and got organized! YEA! That was one of my goals. It has been nice to work at my desk and have everything right where I need it! I hope to be so efficient so I can leave work earlier. Next goal... leave school before the janitors come to clean it! Wish me luck! :)
